Datehookup, one of our larger competitors has been having what seems to be a lot of problems inside the Google search engine. Last week, their website had been completely removed for every search result, including if you searched for their own name. Thankfully for them, their website has now returned to the Google index for when you search for their name, but it is still questionable as to if the site is 100% back in order, of if they have a penalty of some sort on their domain and that their overall rankings for lots of search results is now lower.

Only time will tell, but I wonder what Datehookup did to get temporarily removed/banned from Google, or if it was just a random temporary problem. At any rate, hopefully they are doing everything ethical and it was just a Google malfunction and that they are back at full pace, because the more competitors Datepad has, the harder we will work to make Datepad the ultimate free internet dating website.
