Page De-Indexed

I am looking for a way to delete it.


Hey all, I've created a first tier exact match domain site for one of my keywords. The site only has two pages, a content page and TOS. The content page is original and has a link to my money site. There are also some social sharing links on the page. The site is only about a month old and has not been doing very well for my keyword. I pointed some cheep links to the content page in hopes of getting it to rank a (have not even gotten the report fo little better and push my money site up in the serps.

I just noticed the page is gone when I try site:<mysite> in google. The TOS page still shows but not the content page at the root of the site. Does anyone have experience similar enough to know if I have de-indexed my page (triggered a penalty) or should I just be patient? Anything else I should try?

Explain to the mods, they'll delete it

Yes, I've PM'ed a mod. Thanks.

Possibly the cheap links triggered a penalty, or a thin site if it's only two pages. You can wait a bit but usually site:domain.com search query should bring it up even if it's google dancing. Don't fall for cheap links, it's not a spam game anymore.

Well, it's interesting. I have the site in webmaster tools and just requested a crawl (and re-index). Tried the site query again (no more than a minute after) and both pages show up. I'll see what happens tomorrow and will add some more content, pages over time.
