Powdork,

Of course, a new site would experience problems. It would have zero links. My point is content is no longer king. If anything links are now more important then ever. When I say links I mean links from non-affiliated sites.

Read what I wrote. I have sites that have turned the filter on and off and off and on many times. What triggered the filter was weak local rank and few links out. The problem never had anything to do with the age of the site or the age of the links. It was based whether Google thought my site was a good directory or not.
For Google directories good -- commercial sites bad.
