I have submitted a request to Google to reconsider my web site via Google Webmaster Tools. I hope they do the right thing by restoring my site to their search engine.

I wonder if someone tried to sabotage my web site. I once read that it is very easy to get someone’s web site de-indexed. Alice Seba once had one of her sites de-indexed like mine. I wrote and posted all of my blog posts since 2004.

I hope Google will let me know why my site has been de-indexed. I have a feeling they may never give me a straight answer.

Finally! Google has decided to reveal the monthly and yearly searches for every keyword phrase searched on Google.com. I hope there is an API for this so that all the keyword software makers can integrate this into their software as soon as possible.

According to Google AdWords Help Center:

The Approx Search Volume [Previous Month] column shows search volume statistics for the last calendar month. The Approx Avg Search Volume column shows average monthly search volume over a recent 12-month period.

Since Yahoo’s Overture keyword tool is officially dead, this tool is the next best thing at the moment. Google should have done this earlier.
