      citromduro - Have you submitted a reconsideration via webmaster tools ? That should tell you upon return if you have a manual spam penalty on your site.

      that's sick specially this point "Hosting multiple sites on the same server."

      Why it's in the list?

      Anonymous - The point "Hosting multiple sites on the same server." is there because it is not a reason to be deindexed. It is very typical to have multiple sites hosted on one server and it is not a violation of webmaster guidelines.

      @kd - One h1 tag and multiple h2 tags sound alright to me anyway and not a violation of webmaster guidelines. I would look elsewhere.

        The site which you just dropped a spammy link for is a great example of the sort of site that Google does not want in the index.

        There is no point promoting it as it wont last long, and in any case dropping spammy comment links is not 'promoting a site' - it is creating spam.
