How to get your Website Banned !
With Webhosts Help
~ Shared IP hosting
Many Web hosting services are not giving out unique IP addresses to customers. The name-based system of virtual Web hosting allows multiple domains to be hosted by a single IP.This means that several other domains might be using the same IP, if some site get`s banned with the IP you are using then your Web site will be caught and banned as well , (most probably) .
~ Downtime
At the time a search engine bot crawls your webhost is down , then it would not crawl your site and will not appear in the results . Then you will have to resubmit and wait weeks or months for the spider to re-index your site. If your site already is indexed and ranking well, it might lose it’s position altogether.
~ No logs
Access to raw web log files is one feature often missing with low quality Web hosting services. Some Web host providers are providing logs, but do not include referrer information. Others are deleting logs frequently, making it impossible to use them effectively. Make sure your Web hosting service gives you access to raw server logs, preferably in “Extended Common Log File Format”, a standard that can be understood by most log analyzers.

Shared IP hosting and Downtime…
I dont agree with both.
If you are on shared IP and one of the site is banned on the same IP then there wont be any effect on your site because it does not belong to that person.
Blocking the site involves lot of things, it may inlude things like checking whois and getting the owner of the site etc….
So you need to correct your shared IP point..
2nd Downtime, if the site is down when google or any crawlers comes then there wont be any effect on it…
It will come again after some period of time, you certianly dont need to submit your site again…
Yes but if your site is down for period of say a week or more continuesly then google might not consider coming again but still there are chances remain that it may come again to crawl…
so your downtime point is also not correct.

Hi deep ,
well I think u`r shared IP point might be right , but the downtime may not be entirely wrong too as some hosts may be having downtime several times :) , if i`m not wrong.

If a website is down when Googlebot comes to crawl, it will several times before removing it from its index.

Thanx for this nice piece of information. I knew most of them and some were new for me. Anyway, I will always avoid any of these methods to protect my site from getting banned from search engines.
