There are times when the guys at Google chooses to blacklist a website for various reasons and if you own one of these websites, then you might want to know how to check if Google really blacklisted it. There is one command that will check if your site was blacklisted and that is the “site” command.

All you need to do is:

1. Go to Google (google.com)
2. In the search box, type site:yourdomain.com

If Google doesn’t return any page then that means that the site is not indexed by Google. If you’re sure that the domain has been previously indexed then chances it has been blacklisted.

That’s how you check if Google has blacklisted your website.
