That is terrible to hear. I do hope your other sites keep on doing well.

[...] I would like to report, BANS is NOT dead in the water as most would like you to believe. I know, my last post reflected that I could no longer recommend the popular site builder. Conflicting and confusing, to [...]

Seems BANS is the right name for it! lol.. but really you did not specify why do Google have to de-index you? what is the reason? because if you are innocent about it you can apply for reconsideration from Google and ask them to index your pages again.

Melissa, why do you think BANS sites have been de-indexed? I have been thinking about phpBay for a while, but I am still sitting on the fence. At the moment I just have a widget from the ebay partnernetwork on my site(s) and they still go fine. Do you think I have to be very careful here?
BANS seemed to be such a good software, it’s a shame!

Melissa,

burning question- maybe I missed it- But Why did Google de-index them? do you know, or did they just disappear…

Its always better to spreak your sites around. I have my domains all split up, so I have different domain registrars/hosting/adwords/amazon accounts for my domains so if any hosting goes down, I only lose a couple of sites, if adwords gets blocked, I lose a couple of sites etc etc.

Melissa, before you fully decided on not renewing the domains, consider selling them (you said some were great). If you’re unfamiliar with this, there are plenty of resources online that describe how to go about selling domain names, as well as a pretty active aftermarket. I’d list resources here, but I’m not sure if that violates your commenting policy. Either way, I’m sorry to hear about your deindexing, but all of the value is not lost — sell the domains.

Thanks for the advice but I would like to inquire, if you dont mind me asking, why was your site deindexed?

The last comment was a while ago, I just wondered if anyone had got any recent experience of BANS and if they are now performing better or not? I am thinking of buying a friends store and would like to know
