Bingo, and he is not alone. This has effected many others.

The category pages are still indexed however, so I don't think that this is a ban: Japamor is indexed.

I know others think that the pr update was messed up and this will self-correct, but my impression is not so optimistic. I fear that these noticeable PR changes are reciprical link penalties that are starting to go into effect, so lists and free-sites with nothing pointed to them but reciprical links -- including hardlink trades -- are getting hit the hardest. Older sites have kept their PR levels perhaps because of bookmarkers links, toplists that have pages pointing to them that have not made a displayable ranking, and perhaps Google is giving a nod to sites that have just been around longer.

It's also been suggested that linklists that are found to be spamming in one way or another are getting marked and sites that have reciprical links to these sites are getting penalized for being in a bad neighborhood.

I guess my point is Japamor is not alone and it will be interesting to see how this effects our business model in the long term.

Won't affect it all. It'll just make it worthless to submit free sites.

Japamor - if it makes you feel any better, I think my listings were dropped too.

hmmm i a bit confused by all of this especially the "no pr" part. does this mean we need to let our free sites spin in cyberspace until they get some pr on them? or should we go ahead and submit and there is a time line that after so many days/weeks/months if no pr shows up, we'll be delisted? Does this override the "listing forever" post of a few months back?

did i mention i'm on drugs and cannot be trusted with a keyboard these days?

Are these seem changes/dropped listings happening at Smut Gremlins? I can't seem to find my sites there either.

she has hee links set to expire as some of my not so old links are gone but more newer links are there, there are reasons for links to be removed after so long if your seo plan is focused around that
