"sunflower12,
Do you have lots of pages with outgoing links? Do you post a lot of content that can look scraped?

ie. If you post articles and press releases, those could look duplicate or "scraped" if googlebot happens to find that same content first elsewhere.

Scraped or Duplicate content + lots of pages with outgoing links + ads could possibly trigger the filter."

Hi Budda,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. What's amazing is that there are new sites that try and copy my format that have not been banned. What am I supposed to do? I do not do this to try to gain rankings for keywords. I do it because I try to maintain as much information on my site for my readers and subscribers about the topic that my site deals with. I love posting new articles and press releases on my site. I really love what I do.
