Google crawled serious problem, please help if you are into it.

Well, I am a webmaster of www.newyearinserbia.com and I managed to be 1 on 1 page for keywords like "docek 2009" "docek nove 2009" "docek nove godine" and for first 2 I even got sitelinks!

And that is where my lousy hosting came with 403 forbidden code for 3 days and google crawled my site and now you can't even find my index.html page on google! You can find other pages tough. But the index was my No1. I am angry and pleading for help.

Any good words would help, what will happend next?

Website is about New Year parties in Serbia and thouse keywords are the most used one in that period. My work depends on Google ranking (that brings people on my site and)

Will I be able to retrive my standings?

I am seriously thinking to sue my hosting because they claim that my index.html was somehow erased from the server ? Everything worked fine and in one moment it started to shows 403 code and I am 100% sure that I didn't done anything I didn't even log on to ftp in that period!

I putted a lot of work into this and now I am so sad

Thanks in advance

...and you never kept your page files on hard drive??? Or is it only that Google won't find it?
Contact your hosting.

I back up my site regulary! The problem is that I finally manage to get almost perfect rankings and this happend! My hosting is one to blame and I called them, they will hear from me soon. Idiots, I don't believe that somebody can be such a lier!

I don't know, maybe in a few days Google will crawl my site again and find index.html and everything will be back on track.

In the meantime, your host is responsible for loss of earnings. You should change hosting and take them to court for loss of earnings.

Well at least investigate that idea.

I'm not a lawyer, but they should be liable... somehow.

I don't know how helpful this is, but this page might give you some hints on what to do to help your site regain its popularity and ranking:

I don't think there's any instant solution though, besides waiting for Google to index your page again. Sorry that you had a shitty webhost. I highly doubt an index.html page would go missing by itself.

Thanks guys I appreciate your replies!

Now I only have to wait, on the end that is what SEO is all about :p

And I will for sure do something against my web hosting! Idiots they waited 4 days to answer me. My calls were pointless too!

Get some other sites to publish links to you again and the google crawler will come back sooner. You could send out messages to webmasters who linked to you before saying "Site was down due to hosting problems briefly, but is now back better than ever" and maybe they'll post about it, which will let google find you again.

You guys are the best

guess what?

I putted a few links to high PR sites and Google make everything right again! In less then a day crawled back my index.html with the same old good results!

Boy I am so happy my site is again No 1

BIG thanks to you all, you gave me hope and now everything is HURRAY!
