I hate Google, it's great when you get a lot of traffic and it sucks when they swing their axe. OK I had a site, I purchased the domain with many indexed pages, the previous owner had screwed up the script - so i got the site cheap, when I took over the site had about 500 visitors daily .... After 3 weeks I had the traffic over 10 000 per day (unique visitors), cool I was making some cash, then came Google and slap - game over and site removed from Google .... I may have done something wrong, to keep all the pages indexed and capture the "Page not found" traffic - I made a custom 404 error page - but it had relevant content - which is safe for Adsense and presumably for Google. The content admittedly is from RSS feeds - but they're not scraped or on auto pilot, I have to choose the relevant content and feeds for each post .... again what's wrong with that ? There are many RSS directories and PING sites that have thrived from RSS feeds and auto pings .... I mean even Google Blog search is automatic and updated with pings. So what else could have caused this ? key word spamming ? but again - the majority of pages are crammed with relevant content. ~~~~~ I am really pissed off .... slapped by Google after so much work, steady traffic, $50 - $60 per day, good content and site design, Alexa under 70 000 & weekly average under 30 000 .... I think either someone from DP has a grudge against me and reported me for some reason or breaking some rule .... maybe spam in Google or selling links (which I didn't). Or I think Google may be pissed off - because of the formula I use to SEO and gain traffic .... again though isn't that the game we play ? Find a unique method and capitalize on it .... but I know several sites that use a similar technique - on auto pilot and rank in the top 1000 sites and yet they get away with it. ~~~~~ In conclusion, I am going to do it all over again with a new site or two, I am not going to place a link anywhere on DP (to my site), I will continue to get traffic in my way and challenge Google again, I will not buckle and stop using my techniques (they're not blackhat or illegal) .... I am not giving up .... It just sucks ....
