I run about 16 completely whitehat sites, very minimal interlinking only to seperate C-class IPs. Sites are somehwat related anyhow.

Couple weeks ago after PR update, all new sits get PR (4-5). Few days latrer all of my sites, yes all 16, get PR0'd, banned, nothing via site: for any of them. I DOMINATE yahoo and some of my sites are the most recognized/popular site for the niche. Email google and say I spend a crap load on AdWords, almost 5 figures a month, and nothing. Call my rep, nothing. Sent out another email yesterday.

This is complete crap, and was obviously a hand ban. I search for some of my content via google, guess what...? I find a site that completely copied me, fully indexed. Sweet, I get punished and they stay alive. I told google about this, luckily nothing has been done. Goodnight google, I've never realy cared about you, but now I just don't like you.
