Zeus.... and others.

There is a 6 page thread running in the members area where nearly every post is about new sites that get spidered, allocated PR and then.... nothing! Its not confined to newbies, some of the more experienced members are seeing the same thing.

The majority opinion is that Google has put a quarantine period on new sites.... but there is no formal communication on this and it remains purely conjecture and guesswork.

Another point of view that has been raised is that if Site A and Site B are about the same/similar topic, have the same or very similar set of inbound link partners, share the same IP address and/or are obviously part of one family/network...then one will be filtered out.

Again... its purely speculation.
