No idea what's going on. I was just about to complete a sale one of my strong earning sites. Already received a down-payment. But when I checked again this morning. The site + many of my other sites are no longer appearing in the index. I have no idea what's going on or what I should do next.

I was counting on that cash, now I'm basically left with nothing....can't flip any of the other sites either.

What can I do in this situation?

    Check to see if it really is de-indexed, or just low in SERPs.

    Anytime anyone buys a site, they really are buying potential, not
    guaranteed riches. If the person buying the site really wants it, they'll
    take it. Now if it really has been de-indexed, then there was a problem
    with the site.

    There is no reason for a site to be de-indexed that was doing just fine,
    unless something major was wrong with it.

    It probably was not de-indexed and just dropping in SERPs is not a good
    reason for not buying a site that has shown to be producing revenue
    on a steady basis.

    When I check the site's in Google I don't see them ranked at all...not even low in the serps. There are a few sites still showing, but most are not.

    The site all had original content and appear to still have their original PR. They were all ranked and getting traffic up until this morning according to analytics. They're all on the same hosting account, but I notice even one where it was hosted on a different account is not showing.

    Really no idea what I can do. Has anyone ever seen mass indexing then had their sites come back? Do I keep building links? My big earner was #1 for over a year and I really havent touched it much at all.

    What can I do?

    Do you have any links between your network of websites. If so, get rid of every single link to all of your other websites. Then apply for reconsideration for each site individually.

    One of your domains may have gotten the penalty, and my guess is that reciprocal links are killing all the others due to guilt by association.

    It's possible you did something to all of those sites at once, but I would find that improbable.
