Websites can go into a state of limbo due to Google algorithm bug

Roger Montti published a piece over at SearchEngineJournal.com with regards to a Google bug that leaves websites in a state of limbo. It’s funny because someone on Thanksgiving was telling me they could not get their website to rank, even for their own domain name.

In a Google Office-hours hangout, John Mueller answered a question about how long it takes for Google to re-rank a website that disappeared and returned. Part of his answer revealed an insight into a rare problem at Google that stops a website from ranking for any keywords at all, not even the name of the domain.

John Mueller described it as a state of limbo, an in-between state.

At the 24:48 mark Mr. Mueller discusses it.
