Default Did I get banned? HELP!

I just noticed that my site is no longer indexed! I was there for like 3 years on pages 1 and 2, and suddenly i have nothing! I have no clue what happened. Can anyone help me?

I had over 300 pages indexed and was showing about 100 links. Now i have only 3 pages indexed and 10 links, and NONE of my keywords are showing up. I was on page 2 for 'hawaii real estate' and page 1 for 'hawaii real estate agent'

url: alohatony.com

UPDATE - I'm hearing that other people are seeing the site indexed, but apparently not from Hawaii. Can this type of thing be geographical?

AAAARRRRRGGG Google is driving me nuts!

Tony, I just sent this to you via email, but will post here as well:

Quote:
I am in your google webmasters tools right now (which should remove any data center bias) and it reports over the last 7 days your ranking for "Hawaii Real Estate" averages position 10 (bottom of first page) - this is where I see you as well.

I checked your crawl stats and there are no issues, you are being crawled fine.

I checked keywords over the last week that gave you impressions and you have tons of them - (Well over 100) and many first page positions - I am sorry man, I just can't verify a single claim you are making here, all seems fine from Canada (And more importantly) from Google webmaster tools.

Last thing I checked, was leads - and you have 2 today (The 26th) - the first one I checked came to you from Google

This visit started at Jun 26, 2009 12:37PM from Google for "buy a house in hawaii" .

And the second one also came from Google

This visit started at Jun 26, 2009 3:01AM from Google for "remax oahu" .

So - I just can't see how what you are reporting is true or accurate.
Sorry

Can you phone someone you know locally (who has never looked at your site) and ask them to Google "Aloha Tony"?

Tony-

I am seeing you up all over here as well. Your rankings in my datacenter look pretty much spot on with FindCre's.

Hope that helps...

Eric

I Googled "hawaii real estate" and could not find alohatony.com. But when Googling "hawaii real estate agent", alohatony.com shows up at the number one spot.

*I'm in Honolulu, HI.

"hawaii real estate agent" search = # 1 spot That's great!

"hawaii real estate" = not on first page

Hope this helps!

The problem Tony is having is that his site doesn't show up in the search results when the search is done from Hawaii. I'm in Honolulu, HI... when I search "hawaii real estate", his site doesn't show up in the results. Strange stuff, yeah?
