My directory has not been completely removed but has been penalized of 50 positions searching for the main keyword and much more for some other keywords.

I'm running this directory from 1998 and my content is all human edited, I personally review sites and links are not direct by redirected by a cgi I use to track numbers of hits.

Since 22 July referrals from google decreased causing lost of 40% of incoming traffic.

I'm also running adsense. I joined adwards for a couple of months, last winter.

My domain is always on G, and googlebot is still crawling my site in these days. My PR is unchanged 5/10.

Is so sad to see all the hard work of the last years be destroyed in a sigle day.
