Hello,

Today i had a look on my site and seems that it got deindexed. I was ranking on page 1 for many kws for almost 1 year and now all is gone.

Why would that be ? In search console I dont see any Manual Actions , all looks fine .

I try to submit it again to Search COnsole and this appears: "An error occured. If problem persists, try again in few hours"

What should I do ? Should I 301 the domain to a new one ? Or wait ?
 
1) check your sitemap 2) can you manually find your site?

Site cant be found at all right now. I tried to search it on google with site:mysite.com or just by typing mysite.com ... and is nowhere to be found.

What type of site is it?

Site is in fitness category for a personal gym training, and its static HTML made . Has only 3 pages ( main page containing all important info + contact page + extra page with relevant article about benefits of fitness ). Content is written by me and not copied from others .... total word count about 1k for all 3 pages combined.
 
What blackhat methods were you using?

Didnt use any "blackhat" methods... backlinks were created by me manually .... keywords are not that much difficult except only one of them which had around 4k searches but i ranked #1 for that one too.... backlinks were from high quality sites .... wordpress , blogspot, wix, tumblr, twitter, fliphtml5, hatena, around 10 edu sites , few pdf backlinks , 10 amazon backlinks , and others like theese....

Question is what should I do now ? Should I 301 this domain to a new one that I will purchase ? start over with new one ? i am confused

The problem is, you are trying to think of a solution without identifying the actual problem.

You say you don't use blackhat methods, but you created backlinks manually? If you intentionally built backlinks yourself, that is blackhat, and you have to make it look natural. Ergo you could have screwed up anchors ect.

If there is no issue, it could be a google update that is temporarily screwing you, therefor do you want to redirect to a new site when it could be fixed in a few days?

If google have intentionally punished you, do you think a redirect will fool them? I'm pretty sure punishments transfer over correctly done redirects.

So first off, because you have used blackhat methods, what's the anchor text ratio you used for those backl;inks you created manually?
 
Do you purchase any package lately?? check your backlink

Total backlinks numer in ahrefs: 86
Total backlinks number in search console: 112

Around 40% as anchor i have http://mysite.com/
another 25% is http://www.mysite.com/
20% is my main keywords I target
rest is keywords like check my site,see more,look here for more info

I will wait few more days and see what happends...maybe google is just f*****ing with me .

No, i didnt purchase anything lately.

Wait 65% is naked achors, and 20% is exact match keyword? That's extremely unnatural in my opinion, do you not have any branded achors? They should form a majority on a whitehat site, and your aim is to try to replicate whitehat sites in your niche.

I would give it 3 week to be fair, you can't get enough data to act in a few days,

Also search console should be showing why those pages are not indexed, you can view individual pages in URL inspector, and it should give a reason if it's not indexed.

1. Check search console for manual penalty, security issues and coverage issues. if site is de-indexed due to spam issues it shows in manual penalty always.
2. Check if your website can be crawled by google, many times that is the issue.
3. Check if your website or any of your page or hosting is hacked
4. Use Screaming Frog to check errors on your website.
5. Check if .htaccess or anything else is not blocking google.

from this it looks like Google has trouble accessing your site, check coverage in search console
 
Looks like you got negative backlinks to your site, and your site got deindexed for that purpose. Did you checked out the reason first of all?
 
Any shady links pointing to your site?

In search console everything appears fine...no penalties....no negative baacklinks (spam ones)

Lost few position on rankings, but its still on first page.
