ohh the memories

I just noticed smashingthumbs was un-banned .. and I see PR4 ...
it doesn't really matter .. when I googled smashingthumbs the site was nowhere to be seen in the SERPs .. but at least I've found this thread.

For those who are interested in some numbers. If I remember it correctly the site was doing 150k-200k uniques from google daily making me over $80k monthly.
And for the record, those script-generated doorway pages received like 0.1% of total traffic. And I was about to remove them ... but someone in google pushed the button

Happy New Year everybody!
