Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

Is it possible that a website gets penalised by Google because your hosting company blocked you from sending emails?

Basically I got a message from my hosting company saying that they were blocking me from sending emails from our server and domain because too many had mistakes or were complained about.

The same day we dropped from 2^nd on a keyword to about 600^th while still being ranked for other keywords. The drop was for our main keyword.

Can the fact we sent “bad emails” be related to a rank drop?

For the record, those were confiormation emails for account creation, they were legit, not spam. That's off-topic though.

Thanks for youe help Keri.

It was more of a step by step guide of the things you're supposed to do.

That's not the article I was thinking about but it does talk about the same thing : running a a PPC campaign to evaluate traffic.

The article I was looking for was gave more details onhow you're supposed to do that if I remember right.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

I'm almost sure there is an article on SEOmoz explaining how to get good traffic estimates by running an adwords campaign but after an hour of research I still can't find it.

Some help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.
