I think one of my sites has been banned from Google
 

Or at least its being heavily penalized. Its not in any search results even though it used to be in the top 5 on some search terms. If I do a link:domain.com it only shows 1 link back to the site. If I do "domain.+com" there are 2,420 results, which is about how many sites are linking to it. The PR dropped from PR6 to PR2.

So has it been banned or is it being penalized? If so is there anything I can do about it? My only crime was I used to advertise another site of mine and I believe a competitor complained about it. But that was not the sole purpose of the site nor did I ever use any type of SE tricks. Any google experts have an opinion?

If you put www.yourdomain.com in the search box and it comes up you aren't banned.

thats sucks did you change anything?

Similar shit happened to me.

What about penalized though?
