      Hello,

      We have run into a situtation where we had multiple pages setup for different keywords but didn't realize that we had a name server issue that has caused the pages to be down for the last month or so (2-3 weeks on the low side.) The rank finder was still working fine, but the offline page was never reported. We realized the situation recently and have since gotten the sites back online under the new nameservers.

      Most of these sites were ranking 1 and 2 spots in their keywords, and now are no where to be found in the Google Index. Should I do anything differently, or just put the sites back online and wait it out? I have seen in different places that it may only take 2 weeks to come back, but it's possible that Google has marked the sites as 'not quality' because of their downtime and it will be even harder to get them to rank again.

      Can anyone shed any light on this situation? Any information is appreciated.

      Thanks in advance.

        Waiting for Google to re-index those pages should be just fine.

          I would submit a sitemap to Google to get them pages re-indexed and maybe just build a few links to them pages and you should be more then fine! 🙂
