How Do I know If My site has been banned

[dickiedubs]

Is there a way of telling whether a site has been issued a penalty or banned by google

If you can find your url anywhere in the index, it hasn't been banned. If you do a site:www.domain.com and you can find your site then it isn't banned.

I've been noticing some strange things with one of my sites. I've recently made some changes that affected the entire site, but it was all SE friendly, in fact, i actually cleaned it up quite a bit, lowered keyword desity etc.

Since this was done, I've found that the site has not been showing pr on any of the 2nd level pages.... All pages now seem to be showing pr, however, if i do an "allinurl:" search, all that shows is the index page, this is very strange to me. Also, i tried the "site:" and nothing shows up? Am I in trouble?
