7search.com - big pay per click advertising and affiliate network has PR7 couple months ago. At this moment PR0 , no present in SERP, non indexed, no cache. Is anybody knows , why did they get ban from google ?
I don't know the whole story, but I suspect there is probably a good reason. I tried out a PPC campaign with a smaller company and discovered that about half of the traffic came from 7search. The traffic was utter junk...this is probably the sort of thing that got them banned.
7search is feed provider for smaller PPC with doorway spam source of traffic, thats isn't secret But i think they arent too stupid for spam own site. I guess thats manual ban.
Are you sure the site has been banned? the domain check results: Date PR BLs Site Term Today 0 64 193 81600 10/3/2006 0 0 478 77000 10/9/2006 0 64 193 81600
As I stated in another post, Google is acting like Microsoft did in the past, but in this case they have the power to ban sites, in addition to purchase those that mean potential competitors btw, 7search provides good searching results
Who cares if they get banned or not.. their traffic quality blows. They are only good for ppc arbitrage.
Totally agree, I'm getting tired reading about people concerned on Google moves. "Will going to the toilet could affect my pagerank or put me in risk to get banned?" who really cares!
Honestly though, they may have a high PageRank and everything, but who uses 7Search.com to search? The only time I ever hear of them is from advertisers...not searchers. I don't know a man alive who searches for something they're actually looking for with a PPC search engine. I would definately think that 7search.com is a waste of money, and its existence doesn't even matter [even if they were banned, who would really care? ]. Just my opinion on this one.
I can tell you something EGS, I use 7search for finding some topics that are not usually available through Google, or not fully qualified, such as super-natural stuff and historical records
