Search3w: Dear Mr. Panini,

I NEED MORE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM

1. When it happened?
2. What have you recently did or changed?
3. Why do you think it banned?

You can find some answers for common ban issues here: http://www.search3w.com/category/seo_questions_answers/

Panini: Dear Martin,

As requested you can find here more details related to our problem:

1. When it happened? It happened in March 2007 when we dismissed the old website and launched the new one (as it appears now). Google ranked the domain www.***.it but not the main one www.***.com.

The .com domain was previously ranked in Google but then banned. In June 2007 we also presented the multilingual version of our website.

2. What have you recently did or changed? We are trying to optimize contents and metatags (title, keyword, description) for search engine optimization but the problem of www.***.com still remains (banned).

3. Why do you think it banned? We are very confused since the website is well structured and we keep updating contents.

Thanks again for your help

Best Regards

Panini

Search3w: The multilingual version is defiantly the reason. Are you sure all your sites are happily grasping in Google meadow?!

This is typical Google filter for months now, so they’re not banning related sites (checked by whois data similarity, too many cross links, etc),
what they do is, if you have A.com, B.com and C.com domains they will show only A.com were the other two B.com and C.com sites are “transferring their juice” (jargon, read nice explanation here: http://knol.google.com/k/randy-zlobec/what-is-link-juice)tp://knol.google.com/k/randy-zlobec/what-is-link-juice) to A.com.

Don’t be so sure your sites are banned, they just boosted another site of yours. This is exactly what BLOGS are for.

You also hit the “Google canonical filter” which even BMW has been banned in the past (here: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ramping-up-on-international-webspam/), from the same reason: Doing wrong with their multiple sites targeting different languages.

Panini, use my analysis and learn how to optimize your sites for Multilingual & International SEO. Do it right and within 6 weeks you are on the road again.
