I woke up last night and was just checking some of our rankings and just doing the general search, but then next thing I know our site was completely gone, so I panic and then I checked my webmaster central and everything seem to be fine and we haven’t been doing anything to get penalized we never do our site is white as it gets.

Then I was thinking maybe our site got hit because I just changed a bunch of titles (100’s of pages) so I go to the webmaster re inclusion to send them an e-mail asking them what happen, but then I got to thinking of it why not search the data centers to see if our website is showing up in other data centers well sure enough it was they was showing on every single data center.

Well by this time I’m not to worried about it, but then I’m thinking in my head why is our site not showing up on our data center for and about 4 hours go by I’m working answering some e-mails, taking calls, doing interviews, and etc then all suddenly I’m thinking duh Tyler check social networks and see if any one else is having any problems and sure enough every one is having issues and all the people that are having issues live in Indiana or close by Indiana so the data is coming from the same data center.

I figured this out of course by using the Google Data Center Search Tool and I notice the keywords that other people were complaining about was the same data center I was having issues with also these people lived close by and honestly I’ve seen this happen before and everything went back to normal, but this roll was pretty hard I’m still positive everything will be back to normal I see a ton of sites missing out of the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages) after I started researching it.

So should you be worried, absolutely not it will level back out just give it a few days. Also keep in mind to always check social networks if your having some odd problems with your site you never know every one else might be having the same issues Digital Point is always the best place to check and by far is the most active forums on the web.
