    Had a $15+ day three days ago - now down to next to nothing!

    I checked my SE rank (Google) and they've plummted and/or gone totally!!

    What's gone on?!? Have I missed a memo somewhere?!?

    HELP!

    There you go. No traffic, no income.

    Can you think of anything?

    Duplicate content?
    Black Hat SEO Techniques?
    Anything?

    Black Hat - what's that?!?

    I've read about "Big Daddy" - can anyone point me to some help?

    Yeah happened to one of my sites too due to the fact that one of my subdomains there were dynamically generated pages. Luckily 70 % of traffic was coming from Y and MSN, AdSense ads were still displayed, but payed a fraction of what they did before

    Made For AdSense is effectively impossible to define.

    And, more importantly, Google does not appear to enforce that portion of the ToS.

    If there is no definition, though, this site is the quintessential example.

    If you mean it's made to make me money, then yes.

    If you mean it's made to make me money and screw the content, then no.

    I'm trying to get it off the ground, with local people sending me reviews of dealings with agents. Surely that's content worth reading?!?

    Here;s the url again:

    http://www.livinginmanchester.co.uk/

    When your content pages such as:
    http://www.livinginmanchester.co.uk/thomas_willmax_estate_agents.htm

    have 3 adsense blocks on top and keyword spam on the bottom, its obvious that a site is made just for that "screw the content"

    monetizing a site is great. All but forcing visitors off site by ad placement is just BS.

    Yup, didnt want a load of "bad" traffic when some nutter decided it was an MFA site.
    After all, $15 per day site - could cause a bit of jealousy and set off a click attack. I've seen it happen on other forums!

    EDIT: Taken the site down.
    DOUBLE EDIT: DMOZ didnt think the site was an MFA otherwise surely it wouldnt have submitted the site?!

    DMOZ is hardly the arbiter of quality on the Internet.
