Sites with a large number of outbound links in a list format (eg like Directories and Scrapers) - I would have thought that this includes links going through a redirect/cgi bin - G must be smart enough to work that out.

Maybe that's the case.

Sites with content virtually identical to another site - eg Datafeed sites with virtually no unique content, or Newsgroups with no unique content (very very thin pages)

Not my site. My site is simply a web directory, with unique submissions, and meta searching engine.

ODP clones

Google directory itself is an ODP clone. Also, I dont see excite, alexa or other major portals that clones ODP being banned.

BTW, I have asked this question hundred time with no answer. Is it just me or alexa is PR0 really?

I don't know why I feel that alexa being PR0 is connected to this thread subject.
