Well, Google does not disclosure its blacklist, nor does it tell you how it blacklists and how to get unblacklisted. So what I tell here is common webmaster wisdom, and I can be wrong.

First, you should check if your site is indexed in Google, the search query is "site:domain.com" and/or "site:www.domain.com". If you see your pages here, then you are OK and your site is indexed.

If no pages from your site are indexed, then try "info:domain.com" query. If google doesn't output any information related to your site then chances are high you are either blacklisted or Google knows nothing about your site (this happens to new sites and also if you prohibit crawling in robots.txt).

The best way to identify the problem is to signup for Google Webmaster Tools and look at crawling reports.

Hope this helps.
