I have been having a good response to around 250 cloaked pages for around 3 months now, however all these pages that use the NOArchive tag are missing from the latest Google update, the strange thing is that I do not seem to have been banned because my domain name (hompage) are still listed in google? Is there any way which I can find out if my domain name has been banned from Google? Thanks in advance for any comments..

No archive shouldn't be a problem. We thought so early on, but it's proven the test over the last two years. I use it just about everywhere and often cloak it to save the bandwidth.
If you can find your site in Google, then obviously it isn't banned.
It could be just a classic "drop" of pages. There were alot that said they suffered the same this month. What's the toolbar say on the subpages.

The toolbar on my sub-pages are showing a pagerank of 3. From your experience are "droped" pages re-indexed or gone for ever? This was my first attempt at SEO and it created around 3/4 sales a week of a $39.95 product. What are the normal reasons for the great "Google" to drop your pages anyhow? or does it not need a reason? Thanks for your reply Brett.

Try reworking your cloaked pages to make sure they are different from each other. I believe some cloaked pages I had were dropped because they were too much alike. Some other cloaked pages on the same domain are still doing well after this last update.
