Every webmasters nightmare – falling into Google Hell. Despite the fact that Google bots may be crawling your web pages now on a faily regular basis (daily), have you ever considered what would happen to the overall health of your site if it were to fall completely off the Google map? Would the joy of maintaining your own site continue as traffic slowly disappeared?

Beginning in September 2006, Skyfacet no longer showed up on the first few pages of Google’s results when users typed in search terms like “diamonds” and “engagement ring.” The site’s traffic vanished, and Sanar says his sales dropped $500,000 in three months.

What happened? Sanar isn’t completely sure. But he does know that his site has been condemned to the supplemental index, a dreaded backwater region of Google search results that goes by another name in online marketing circles: Google Hell.

Google Hell is the worst fear of the untold numbers of companies that depend on search results to keep their business visible online. Getting stuck there means most users will never see the site, or at least many of the site’s pages, when they enter certain keywords. And getting out can be next to impossible–because site operators often don’t know what they did to get placed there.

I can’t even begin to imagine how big of a hit my own personal site would take if Google ceased to offer my pages. Oh the horror!
