hey my lovely friends,

sorry to tell that probably I've been penalized!

because I didn't see none of my pages in the google serp

although all the pages are still in index and appear in serp when i search them with my site name following

what you think about it?

did I penalized by google?
 
How much is the traffic drop? How many visitors were you getting before this?
 
my pages was in the page 2 or 3 or 4
so I didn't have more visitors, but I could see my pages in serp
If it is a new website then it is normal to see those types of fluctuations. Don't panic. Just keep publishing your content. Also, have you done any kind of link building to those pages recently?

yes, I recently created just one no-follow backlink form a high domain authority site,
that site previously had linked to gambling and casino sites, do you think this happened due to my recent backlink?

One link will not create such issues in my opinion. I think it is just a normal google dance. You need to watch it for at least two weeks before coming into any sort of conclusion. Lastly, you may have got hit by some unconfirmed google update, however it is highly unlikely for such a small update. Even then you need to wait and watch. Also, don't panic and keep publishing your content. In the end if you do find that it is penalized just move on to a new domain, there is no point fighting the G algo.

thanks for your helpful and complete answer. I've the same intention to just wait.
 
Look at GSC graphs next week, if you see a big drop in impressions maybe something is wrong. But if goes up and down like normal, than its everything okay. Sometimes google dont show some pages but still they are indexed and get shown later
 
Do you mean when you search site:example.com/how-to-run/ it's indexed but searching site:example.com you won't find it in the search query

no
for example, when I search for "best earbuds" I can't see my site. but when I search for "site:mysitename.com best earbuds" I can see it

That literally just means you're indexed but not ranking for the keyword.

Maybe because your serp position is over 100. You will not find your site if you are not in top 100 for the given keyword. Thats around 10 google pages

It could be a google fluctuation. To be sure, try this: go in GSC and see top countrys that you get impression for that term. After that open an incognito table in a browser not chrome, switch the country to the one that you get most traffic and so on. Search you term again. If you find it than dont worry. If you dont find it in top 4-5 countrys, wait 2 weeks search again. If its back you are good to go, if not you need to find the problem that caused the drop. I Hope it helped you
