Can i get banned for my content?

[bele]

Last night all our indexed pages are gone from google. Completely deindexed - banned.

Links could not cause it, all of them are related, anchors diversified and spam is never used.

Content is the same like our other website has, just some small changes. First stronger website is working as usual.

So can it be that duplicate content caused a complete ban?

(Website is 6 months old. Content has never been properly indexed, due to same reasons i think. Last week we made changes, ant it started to get indexed quite well until tonight..)

Hi there,

You should watch Rand's Whiteboard Friday.

Basically if you copy 100% of your content on your other domain, that will not provide any extra value, so my question to you would be how big changes did you make to the content that was re-posted? Have you only rewritten it?

If the articles were almost the same you might be under a penalty for it.

I hope that cleared a little-bit the "image".

Greetings,

Istvan

Have you logged into Google Webmaster Tools and looked for any notices?

Having a duplicate website isn't a great thing, but let's make sure that there's also not some other cause. Was anything done to the code of the site? Any robots.txt or meta robots changed? Are you still fine in Bing/Yahoo?
