      If indeed your host is to blame for getting the boot from Google, then you need to move your websites ASAP. Applying for reindexing probably isn't going to get you very far if your host is the root of the problem. You might consider upgrading to a virtual private server.

        Can you clarify what you mean by banned, all your sites show up in search results for me.

          bad neighbourhoods can make Google blacklist you. Move your hosting somewhere else.

          Then recheck the content for any issues (duplicate content etc) and then submit to Google for reconsideration.

            Tks for your reply but i used for instance with the command "link:" to get all the pages listed from each website, now : zero ! And in GA all the visits and the referral figures are getting down and down...as days go by ...so i 'm sure that google put aside the domain..

                Tks for  your prompt reply ..But how can i be sure that it comes from my host ?

                I've got some doubt but i can't prove it unless i got some figures to prove it , a tool or something to tell my host its responsability..

                  Did you mean to use "site:" as "link:" is (frankly) rubbish for giving you what links you have and secondly wouldn't show what pages your site has.

                  But again, if I use that it shows your pages. So you're not banned.

                  Are you saying all the sites linking to you have been closed down and that's why you no longer rank?

                    Have you added webmaster tools to your site? - https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en

                    That would tell you if Google had detected malware on your sites.

                      Unfortunately, I don't know of such a tool. It will take some more research on your part to see if other sites using the same server are getting the same treatment from Google. It is curious that Barry Smith was able to find your sites showing up. It's possible that Google's algorithym change has adversely affected your SEO results if you were relying heavily on links from websites that Google depreciated as "content farms".

                            Oups ! such shame, i mix the command up this morning ! in fact i used "link:" instead of "site:", and i have been misleading by the fact that my visits are down days after days with about 80% less than the previous month, so i tried to find a reason...

                            Awfully sorry about that..now all the work is to find what 's happening about such drop in my visits...

                            Many tks to you both  Barry Smith, and Jonathan Fashbaugh..
