Weekends are pretty slow on the forum. I'm traveling so I'm not on much while I'm gone.

Lots of sites get hit by Google like that so I would just give it some time and keep working on getting back links to relevant sites.

You might look in Google's Webmaster Tools. If you are not using that, you will need to add your sites and verify them using the instructions. If there are problems with the sites, this tool may give you a clue why. www.google.com/webmasters/tools

Log in with your Google account.

Click "Add a Site"

Type in domain name in the box

Verify Your Site
Recommended method is to download an html file using their link. Save the file to your computer. Then upload the file to your website server. After it is uploaded, you then click the Verify button.

Other Verification Methods:

You can also add a meta tag to your site's home page.

You can also link the site to your Google Analytics account.

Once it is verified, it will take a couple of days for Google to start producing reports, stats and errors if any.

You will need to send the file to your server through FTP or your cPanel. If you search YouTube for How to FTP, I'm sure you will find plenty of videos showing you how to do that.
