When I turned my website into a blog – last March, I forgot a tag <div style=”display:none”> on the homepage. Inside this tag: the text welcomed visitors in 2006. When I lately opened Webmasters ToolGoogle, I got surprised : I am blacklisted by google …
The message (truncated in the screenshot below) indicates the case: div style display:none đ
Part of the offending code đ
<div style="display:none">IntĂ©ressĂ© trĂšs tĂŽt par la programmation de logiciels, c'est dans l'idĂ©e d'optimiser leur utilisation et de participer Ă la crĂ©ation d'interfaces web et de logiciels conviviaux que j'ai suivi une formation informatique. AprĂšs avoir dĂ©crochĂ© mon Brevet de Technicien SupĂ©rieur en Informatique, j'ai eu le plaisir d'ĂȘtre sollicitĂ© par un centre de formation. J'ai donc Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppeur et formateur elearning en bureautique et en langages informatiques.</div>
I have thencorrected the offending code and asked for Google-boots to have their inspection done. Have to wait … I hope not to be forced to change its name of domain!
Hard, right?
I do not find any mention of this in Google Analytics, although I noticed the decline of the traffic of my blog.
2 days after having expressed my complaint to Google … the blog has reappeared in the SERP-Search Engine Results Page. Google is very reactive! The pages of my blog are still in the google cache and my pagerank has not moved: phew!
