I have many sites that I am webmaster, and most of them dropped to zero !!

www.checkup.med.br 5 -> 0
www.asclepios.com.br 3-> 0
www.riscocirurgico.com.br 2->0
www.vasculab.com.br 3-> 0
and others
the only one who was saved was www.humboldtbrasil.org 4->6

My pageviews dropped a lot, and I cannot find my site in googles first page any more.
For example, in portuguese pages, I was the first ranked for "checkup" search, now the first one is a site long known by me that does not even have a page for years, it keeps saying "page does not exist". Its domain is .com.br, and mine is .med.br, but that doesn't explain.
First I thought my sites were banned by google, but using the google banned sites webtool, it seems that they aren't.
Interesting is that www.humboldtbrasil.org is a site that I do not dedicate my time for 2 years, and now it arises.
What happened with google ?? This new indexing really didn't worked, at least for me.
If anyone have any idea, please share with me. I don't know what to do. If I start SEO again, if I stop and wait because this was a problem of my SEO done some time ago.

Thanks in advance

Did you buy links? Did you change anything? I guess the one with the PR increasing from 4-6 is because it's been around for a while. If you're domain is old, it increases PR.

I did not buy any links... also, its been some time since I did any SEO...
It is really annoying how we depend on one company (Google) for most of our pageviews. Something like that happens, and I cannot get an explanation or a solution from them...
Thanks for the comment

but using the google banned sites webtool, it seems that they aren't.

As if that is of any use!!

When were the redirects implemented?

some months ago... maybe 5-6 months
do you think it is the problem ??

Most users don't have the PR toolbar and if they do, they have no idea what it means.

The important question is: did your traffic drop?

Did your links came from the same websites for all the websites you mentioned? That could explain why they all dropped.

If your PR dropped, it's not that you did anything wrong. The website pointing to you might have and you no longer receive the juice from their links that's all.
If your traffic hasn't drop, then you don't have anything to worry about. Unless you are selling links -

can be, time scale is about right.

Point the root of the website to that folder rather than redirect, see if restores the traffic etc, Toolbar PR will take 3 - 4 months to catch up

BTW are SE visits include in the "pageview" stats ?

Now webmaster tools says that no page is indexed at all !!! And they say they couldn't find robot.txt because of a server error.
And I still have even a pagerank 7 linking to me !!
I don't know what to do... I requested a review from Google, but they don't answer...
The redirections are working fine... it seems that my server failed exactly when google bots were searching the site...
Any suggestions ? Comments about that ?
Thanks a lot

I do know what pagerank means, and I do not think it is exact science, but a drop from 5 to zero is really significant

Yes, my traffic is now almost zero

Most of the links comes from sites that mantained its pagerank

Well, I am not worried, I am terrified.... My traffic is almost zero, my sells dropped to zero, I cannot be found any more in the internet....
And I am not selling links... I have no reasons to do that, the only thing I do, and I think is fair, is linking my sites among them

If your sites are relevant to each other, than it's fine. If you just link them for the sake of a link, Google might have classified that as a link scheme.

How many websites do you have? Do they all link to each other?

they all share interests, and are only about 10 sites

My Forum has PR 2 but on 11/11 it goes 0.............

My suggestion you can check your broken link in google webmaster tool.
And also check your reciprocal link is live ?

Are all your websites in a shared server? in this case if you link each other, google may give you a penalty.

Even your humboldtbrasil.org is showing N/A PR here on my end. Your redirection might have big effect and google might considered that as part o manipulation.

check out u r last updation on all this sites.

I think you have to check out backlinks of site live or not.
