My sites just disappeared from google last night. there is no manual action in webmaster.

[samafaq]

can it the penalty if so how do i find out if i was hit with a penalty i keep checking my webmasters but there is no alert for penalty. this is very sad but once i make sure it was a penalty i can move on for a safer seo.

Sites are indexed i checked. there is no other indexing issue or robots issue either.

Please help

Penguin 3.0 was released yesterday, if you site has been affected by an algorithmic penalty then you don't get notification in GWMT. They seems to have been a lot of ranking changes.

Hi Sam. I would advise you to move on with safer SEO in any case! As Chappers states, Google won't notify you of algorithmic penalties. If changes in rankings/traffic coincide with know algorithm updates, that is your clue. Things may change a bit in the days to come as things settle but might as well clean up those backlinks now! Hopefully the next refresh will not take so long.

Sorry!
