hey everyone, just wanted to see if anyone is having the same problems as me. i have a bunch of BANS sites, and they are not getting any traffic anymore from google. they are still indexed, but no traffic. on the other hand...my buddy who has 250+ bans site had his sites absolutely deleted out of the index about a week ago. i was wondering if anyone else was having the same problems.
I've had this problem with other affiliate links... they sometimes shoot to the top of the google index for a month or so... and then are placed in the google sandbox. It might be too many affiliate or rover links for eBay. I've been trying to use a nofollow tag on some sites but worry this too hurts SEO. I think the trick is to keep up the content and provide a unique value to your reader. Best of luck.
