Just wondering what's the best most accurate way to find if a domain has been banned by google? I know there are tools out there online but it's hard to trust them. I was looking up a domain and searched it once, it said it was fine, searched it again said it was banned. What does everyone else use?

The simplest method would be to go to google.com and type site:yourdomain.com into the search box. If you see pages show up, then that means your site is currently indexed. If nothing shows up and there use to be pages indexed before, then it is possible your site may have been deindexed for some reason.

The best way to find out about the status of a domain you own with Google is to utilize Google's Webmaster Tools. When you add your domain to Webmaster Tools, Google will tell you if they have any trouble visiting your site, they will tell you if there is a problem with your site's sitemap or robots.txt file, you will get detailed crawl data and information about dead links, or even if you are deindexed for violating certain rules. The following page may help you:

Just add the website address and choose the target country and see if the adsense ads are displayed, if not for sure that domain is banned by Google !

I used that in the past before but that is just to see if a domain is AdSense banned, not a Google index ban. I have owned a few domains that I got as part of a package deal that were banned from AdSense (previous owner probably had click fraud) before but were in the Google index with many pages.

Many people assume that because a domain is banned from AdSense, that means it will not be able to have indexed pages. That is not always true, it depends on why the domain was banned from AdSense. If it was because of spam then it could get an index ban as well.

I use fail.namewest.com. I believe it to be accurate. Great for bulk requests also ;)
