Sure sure, it's not "removed from index": all the thousands pages listed are still listed.

If you

site:yourdomain.com

you'd see all your (usual) xx,#*$! pages....

Problem is: they are not ranking anymore.

Also: we requested a re-review of our sites and again, they are commenting (with exclusively canned answers) that our sites are violating the guidelines.

Ok, how come, if they have been sending us million of clicks in the last 7 years and always rewarded us with the top-3 positions for very competitive keywords?

They are *now* violating (new) guidelines, perhaps.

And what is worse: they are not violating any of the Y! guidelines. Really.

In exchange, the top 10 sites for those competitive keywords are now showing really random sites: no one is a real offerer of the products you are searching about. We know our competition and our competitors: none of the top 10 players are listed there (and: of course they are, and we are, on Google).

This is a really a big change in the algo... or a big penalization (and I see from this post that we are not alone)...
