I was heavily penaltied 2 days after I wrote to Adsense an e-mail in which I asked to add an extra bank account on my adsense account. Yes I included current domain name in e-mail.
1) I received no response from adsense team
2) Nice traffic I *hardly* built in these years went from 1st page to ... nnn th
3) when I search for <mydomain>.com I'am no more in first position, I think this is a manual penaltie.
Can you please give me an advice how can I start to work in right direction?
Any help appreciated.
Best regards.
p.s. Adsense revenues were really interesting ... but thanks god I never bet all of my business on them...it is very bad however to waste all this time. I will work...we will see...
I don't think it is a coincidence...I didn't add nothing strange in last months and I went through all other algo changes with no problems.
Now it is a manual penalty and what I'm looking for now is way to :
1) Understand what is wrong (and was wrong in last months)
2) Take the time to fix it

Thanks to all giving me an advice.
(If you stop and think about it, there are ways Adsense data could be used to help determine best rankings. For example, site targeting.)
I've not checked Google patent applications recently. There was something a while back to the effect that Google wanted to use advertising on sites as a sign of quality. The idea potentially was that if an advertiser found your site to be of high enough quality to put its ads on it, you should get a few points for SERPs.
Obviously that's the same thing as Site Targeting in Adsense. Google would probably implement the new idea with its own advertising program, and then look into other types of ads from different companies.
Although I don't allow site targeting myself, it's easy to imagine the decision by companies to advertise on a site could get more weight than links from, say, answers.com.
