">> I use a small reciprocal links directory that I have to manually manage, and it does contain it's share of unrelated links, gambling, pills, etc... but the links are subdivided into their own pages, so all related links are on their own page. I also have a few related and unrelated homepage link exchanges. I am using a page generation software "Rankingpower" but nobody, including google seems to have an answer for that.
I think you have the answers. "

I agree, you obviously know what the problem is. Personally, I think you are one of the lucky ones. You can make corrections and then submit a reinclusion request. But what is so puzzling to me is how completely clean sites can be banned. It's one thing to lose ranking in an update but to be completely banned and manually removed from their index; Sites that do none of the above. So puzzling.
