there is a site who had been unranked by google for no reason. the site offers web design, and other advertising services, and reached a 3/10 rank in less than 2 months and 6,8 Alexa rank. can anyone tell why was it unranked and how? shame on them

Well if a site doesn't have links on other sites Google won't find them. Google basically finds a new site by clicking on a link in a site already ranked and it says "Hmm, this place is unfamiliary" and then starts clicking around that new site. The more Google finds links on sites to that design site, the higher the rank for the design site. So basically they need to affiliate and put up some links to places.

Google "unranks" sites if they are using copied material (that's why Trap17 discourages copying stuff from other sites) and Google also penalizes sites who use "link schemes" (meaning you link to thousands of other people, while thousands of other people link you, using some kind of link reciprocal program). The best way to get a good ranking without cheating is to affiliate and exchange links with other people!

Quite agree to the above.
Best way to get inbound links(links from external sites to yours):
Search for like-minded websites that deal in the same stuff you do. Ask them to have a link exchange programme. They will surely do.
This way you can get quality inbound links and not those cheap ones often obtained by many affiliate programs that claim to give you millions of traffic.
