Tommy,

... do a site:yourdomain.com search to see if your site is truly "removed" from Google..

Then if it is.. look at doing a re-inclusion request..

Being truly removed isn't all that common tho.

Discovering you've dropped into the netherworld of "below the first hundred or coupla hundred results" is much more common.

Which feels like a penalty.

Used to be, things like this would happen, but then you would come back.

Nowadays, coming back from the netherworld seems less common, particularly for porn sites.

Why? Who the fuck knows, really. I got my theories, and they are all probably wrong.

I'd say the thing most likely to pull it up from the bottom are some true oneway links from 'outside' - from either someone who hasn't been pushed down, and with whom you do not already trade, or links from the sites that are in the "authority circle" - which is basically the famous non-adult-BUSINESS sites.

But true oneway links from almost anywhere outside have a chance at least of making it bounce up.

Still, if it just happened, it's usually too early to tell that it WON'T bounce back up on it's own.

Which puts one in a catch22. You could wait, and maybe it bounces up on its own with some future update. Or try to fix it, and maybe make it worse, or use up resources that you'll wish you had later.

If your tgp's are all interlinked, google may look at them as a network of websites set up to artificially inflate link popularity and page rank. If so, it will penalize them all by burying them in the serps. In this instance, you may keep your page rank but your rankings will fall. Getting them back is a long, tedious process. I've yet to see a re-inclusion request work in such a case. If you have them all pointing to some of your bigger money making sites you may want to consider pulling some of those links. Matt Cutts even said (I don't have that quote at hand but I remember reading it) that Google will even look at whois info to see what other sites you own thinking that if you're using blackhat techniques on some, you may use them on all.
