Dont think Bluefind was ever totally removed from the serps. Bluefind IMO is suffering from a Canonical url problem more than anything.

They are in the SERPs, but the homepage has PR0 which indicates a penalty, not just a filter. Another problem they have--which may also be the case for many directories that were banned at 28/7--is that many of their categories just show empty pages, only linking back to the homepage. Google might have interpreted this as an artifical way to boost PR.

Did any of the directories that were banned three days ago have a large number of empty pages, to be filled in the future?
