Google has dropped a number of websites from their search engine for top keywords. I was wondering why they did this and I decided to do an investigation of my own to try find the answer. If you know any directories (could be your own) that has been "bowled out", please post them here. Thanks!
There are already a million threads about this topic, I recommend you read them to do your 'research'. No one knows why the SERPs have changed and I personally would not be so silly as to use the term 'kicked out'.
who is willing to cite those "bowled out" sites? kind of non-friendly. but I can tell you my directory ranks even better.
Mine directory hasn't, totally opposite it's been pulled up although some big ones like zorg and big web links have
may be your ranking is drop..not google drop your site ...i've face the same problem where my site rank has been drop and effect my site traffic.
I got a directory that is completely banned in Google. www.suggest-link.biz I got kicked out because of interlinking all my sites with site-wides. . I am not working on it now and I am not accepting any links in it also. Many people come via yahoo and submit to it. I refund all their payments. At the same time I am still building links to it. Someday if I get unbanned, I will start all over again with the site.
Respect to you for honesty and integrity - I wonder if all owners of directories that have been banned or currently appear to be "penalised" are acting as honestly as this PS - green your way
