One of the post on my site is removed from Google SERP, I don't know why and how but this happened to only one post, not all of the post. Is there any specific reason for this, I didn't receive any message from google search console and It was ranking for keyword for one year. And now suddenly removed, traffic lost.
 
Try running the following Google searches:
site:domainname.com/*
or
site:domainname.com/exact-url
 
Likely the google update playing games.
It's happened to some of my pages where they drop out of the top 100, then a couple of days later, they come back, usually in a higher position.
Google is just figuring things out right now.
I'd say if it has been a couple of weeks, you might want to start checking your on-page SEO and optimize it if possible.
 
Google top 100 and post not coming after searching for it are two different things what are you referring to
Post not coming, even if I do site:.. still not, no notification from search console. what could be the problem?

If you did the site:*url* of the post that was removed in google search and nothing showed up in your search, it typically means google de-indexed it.

You can always try to re-index it in GSC or see if they penalized it - check your emails associated to your GSC

Maybe your content was spun and/or plagiarised and google caught on.

There could be a lot of factors.

There is no mail in GSC right now but waiting for it, but if I re-index it will it come back to the same rank as before?
 
Not necessarily. If Google got rid of it or penalized you, you will need to sort that out first.
I don't think google penalized me as all of my other posts and pages are ranking same as it is, problem with one only.
 
Okay, I got the reason, it says that copyrighted material, how can I know fix it?

Was going to ask the same, the post might have received DMCA and google removes copyrighted material pages from search index. There is nothing you can do if the DMCA is legit but if it's not, you can contact google.
 
most likely your account has been blocked ,, or the content of your posts is inappropriate. but it's best to contact the help center for more information about the causes and solutions.
good luck
Well, I don't think google is wrong here but it was ranking for 1 year, why now, question is how can I get my rankings back.
What I am thinking is Change the URL and Redirect the di-indexed post to new URL. Simple, will it work?

Since last year one of the post in my site was ranking at top 5 but now google get to know about copyrighted material hosted on the page.
I want to take the rankings back, how can I do so? can anybody help me?

Why not remove the copyrighted material and get it rewritten?
 
You can't, delete that page and move on. The page will never come back on SERP.

The page can come back if he got a warning from google for it.

He just has to fix the issues on the page and submit it for review. Once done google will un-penalize the page and it will be able to get index and rank again.

This is why I had asked him if he had any warnings in GSC or via emails.
