check to see if your site is banned in Google

[Chris]

Just in case you all haven't seen.

put hyves infront of your domain

so http://hyves.websitepublisher.net

a PR7 is unpenalized
a pr4 is penalized
a pr0/blank is banned

As per the toolbar.

Awesome trick, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Every page that I try it with returns a blank PR, even pages that I know are ranked and showing up in Google SERPS. Even websitepublisher.net as shown in your example. Is it working for anyone else?

Where do you put http://hyves.websitepublisher.net?

Do you do a Google search, or just enter it in the address bar?

[Westech]

I put it in the address bar and then looked at the pagerank on the toolbar for the resulting "page not found" page. Since it didn't work for me maybe I misunderstood the instructions.

[Chris]

Westech had the right idea, but it looks like Google shut it down. I managed to check all my sites, all were good.

[agua]

That explains it - I was getting page not found after entering it in the address bar

[Blue Cat Buxton]

Shame they shut it down :(

This is unfortunate.. Maybe there is a similar technique that somebody here can share with us?

[bermuda]

By the way what was that, an online tool or a wonderful feature which were just noticed by some people?

I also tried that URL but I am getting dns_unresolved_hostname error in Firefox. Is there any other process?

[AndrewS]

not working anymore. Wondering how people find out about these "tricks"..
