Searching/Surfing around for ideas, and came across this site: www. mrfreefree .com It is a PR6, and when you view the pages where AS ads would be, are "You are not authorized to view this page" message. Just thought it was interesting. tom
AS ban wouldnt really mean a de-indexing from google, unless you were using like doorway pages which is bannable for both. But I mean, your not allowed to have certain content on your AS page, but im sure you can find a few hundred websites about that content, ranking well in google. Edit: Your sig made me crack up.
It's a server setting. Not a ban from google. If anything, there is an issue with a server somewhere between that site and the big G.
