They killed 2 subdomains. The www was a search engine using FindWhat results. No adsense. It had around 20,000 pages indexed since 1/2004.

The second was a recip directory. 400 pages, all rewritten as static. No Adsense, just static link pages. Nowhere in the Google guidelines are reciprocal links outlawed.

There were no sitewide links or anything funny. Effectively they killed the whole domain.
