Well, I get traffic from Google, but for none of the keywords I am targeting... and lots of the keywords I am good for are ones that are so abstract that the PR flowing to that page probably hold it up there because Google doesn't have anything better to put there.

I own a large network of sites that are certainly off topic... And i have from the get-go linked to this site of mine from these sites (one way).

I'm quite certain a majority of the incoming PR is from that so I was always hesitant to remove it, but I have removed it now and will see how it goes.

So, to re-iterate, the two changes I've now implemented in desperation is the removal of incoming possibly off-topic links and registering the domains for 8+ years.

Meta tags are unique for all the pages... and do not re-include the title. The url generally contains the same keywords as the title, but I don't see how google can penalize me for that. Also, that wasn't always the case.
