ok well hello everyone,
I'm the guy that started this thread back in October. Well I see finally its not just me and wanna_learn. I guess I at least owe it to the readers and contributors of the thread to give you my experiences so far.
I will try not to go into to much detail as 90% is in this thread already and you just need to read it from start to finish, but it will be hard not to go into too much detail.

- Starting October 4th or so googlebot activity for my site began to almost stop then around the 10th it stopped completely from averaging 600 hits a day to 0

- Around the 21st of October I noticed thousands of pages missing from the index and the pages that were there had no title or description. I spent the next week trying to solve the riddle, at the end of the week i began this thread in desperation that i might find people with similar problems that could band together and make some noise. As I had already sent 100s of emails and took every action i could think of.

- just some of the actions were;
my lawyers threatened legal action

i wrote 100s of emails to google

i stickied google guy

i took out any redirects

i scanned out all bad incoming links

i removed any pages that google might have seen as duplicate

i submitted and wrote letters to dmoz

i changed the IP my site was on

i changed the server i hosted my site on

i republished a new directory structure

I have begged for help to the entire SEO world

i set up site maps all over the place

i added redirects i took them out and then re-added have always used 301s with no problem in the past

i removed shared borders

and another hundred other things on over 30,000 pages of content its been a nightmare

Well the reason why i have posted here is just to let you know there is hope. The reason why i haven’t posted recently is because while it appears that im coming back its not a definite and even if i get back I have no factual reason why, I did so many bl**dy things that it could have been anyone of them.

Google began spidering me hard for the first time on dec 31st. 450 visits
1st 400 visits
2nd 541 visits
3rd 100 visits
4th 611 visits
5th 350 visits so far

on the 2 14 pages apppeared on -kr
on the 2nd 3100 pages
on the 3rd 6500 pages
on the 4th 9500 pages

so this seems all good at least the bl**dy spiders are back
the listings though are somewhat reminisent of pre-slow death. Google only shows 400 of the supposed 9,500 in the index, and 10% of these have no descr or title.

So I guess we'll have to see what happens, but without a doubt its a problem that needs to be address and isnt.

Google is it that serious that your afraid to let it out of the plex?
