Have a look at the webmaster guidelines on googles website.
Your own post and the replies on this thread:-

.... may point you in the right direction.

If this is not the case... check the Google Terms of Service for other possible reasons that you could have received a penalty.
I feel very suffered as I don't know what is the reason
If you have a thorough look at googles TOS you should be able to work out the reason quite easily.
In the recent "update" quite a few sites that were buying or selling links for the purpose of PR got the chop.

Is that so? Not just killing PR passing any longer? Sounds to be more ethical than letting newbies pay for nothing.

Well a certain well known EDU newspaper that sells over 50 links has:
1 pharmacy link
1 vi*gra link
9 casino links
and is still is passing PR.
Do your sites link to each other? Are they on the same IP address, or in the same C class (IP addresses are identical for the first three octets AAA.BBB.CCC.****)? Chances are, you've been caught by the new "network of sites" filter.
1)Chage I.P's(dissimmilare first 3 octets')
2)Remove interlinking from the sites.
3)If the content duplication is there remove it.
4)Remove all the link that you think could be considered as bad neighbourhood.
Your sites might come back in 3-4 months.
Pls help this so urgent issue......
4. No duplicate content.
That's not an honest answer.
I don't normally get into reviewing sites (johnlim stickied me some domains), but you have massive duplicate content over about 5 domains, all in the same C-class.
That content duplication would be very very obvious to a bot, and having the same contact phone number for a couple of the sites as you do would only underline it to a human doing a manual review. Google are not stupid.
See my first post in this thread. All the information you need is in google's webmaster guidelines. This is your one:-
Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
I only took a quick 10 second look at a couple of your pages and domains. There may be other problems, but if you read google's guidelines you will see what is and what isn't allowed.

I don't agree what you said "it is not an honest answer".
To the extent as I know, I don't think all our five sites has sitewide duplicate contents, I saw other guys' sites has more simiar contents and don't have any problem.....So I never think of it is because of "duplicate contents"
Your navigation, link text etc, has been varied, but the substance (actual content) of each site is identical.
I'll highlight this from googles TOS for you again:-
Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
Can you honestly answer that you haven't done that?
That question is rhetorical.
I'm not questioning your honesty - the point I wanted to make is to get help from people on this problem, you need to explain everything or you just leave people guessing as to what the problem might be. If you were honest, you were economic with that honesty.
;-)
When "duplicate content" was first suggested by someone above, that's what they meant. It's duplicate content as far as google is concerned, not as far as you are concerned by examining what other people are doing and getting away with.
I don't think all our five sites has sitewide duplicate contents
I can take the back-half of one of your URL's, copy and paste it onto the end of one of your other domains, and land on the same page, with a different header and footer.
I would hazzard a guess that all five sites are running from the same database backend (either one database, or 5 copies of the same database). That database is your core content.
To try and get the thread into more constructive terriotory, and in terms of fixing the problem, I think you should ditch 4 of the sites and concentrate on one.
Once you have done that, and are certain in all other respects that you comply with googles guidelines (I assume you have now read them?), send google an email and request re-inclusion for that one domain.
I'm sure others can make other suggestions also. I've never had this problem, so I don't know the likely outcome I'm afraid.
TJ
But googlebot still visit.....
It is a rule that if one site is banned by google then googlebot will NEVER visit site again?
TJ this may well be one reason why we lost our main site last month but its the first time Ive seen it mentioned. We had a pretty clean site that had ranked well since Florida but we decided to match our competitors by paying for a few (thousand) links.
When we got dropped the linking issue was the first thing I thought of as a primary reason for our removal. I cant discount there being others but my gut feel is that it was down to non-topical paid links.
Against this of course is the fact that plenty of other sites doing exactly the same thing are still unaffected. Im sure I read somewhere that long standing link partnerships might be protected from any algo change.
Anyone else experienced this or is there a discussion some place Ive missed? Do you think G will forgive once the links are wiped or is that a no hoper?
I'm beginning to think it was manually effected.
I'm also seeing other sites slide through the net. I believe google have employees going through lists.
For what it's worth.

"DON'T PANIC"
I guess this is just temporarily. There isn't something like a penalty. Just be patient and wait a few days.
Thing like these happen occasionaly, even to us. It has never been a penalty.
There is no doubt your site has been penalised. You only try can be an email to webmaster@google.com with " Reinclusion Request" in the subject.
You can tell them that it seems your sites have been penalised and you don't know why.(if you feel you have't employed any unfair practice to your sites.
Google guy had once suggested the same to on of the WW member and assured that Google team would listen. Try you luck!

I would strongly advise against doing that until the problems have been resolved.
TJ
I strong suspect it is maybe we link to spammers, I don't think the "duplicate content" will cause such serious suffer....
Pls help
I guess from your reply that there isnt what you might call a paid links penalty - save for a few manually adjusted sites that may well have been subject to some selective whistleblowing.
Not sure my site was manually adjusted because usually when you fall victim to such a review you are wiped immediately along with a zero PR or grey bar. Mine was more a slow death over 3 weeks.
Either way there is no looking back - youve got to fix what you think was wrong and then move forward. If nothing else you learn a valuable lesson.

That's what I believe, yes. It appears that way to me based on the sites that I am looking at. It's not a wide enough cross section though to know for sure. My best guess if you like.

Not necessarily. Google don't want to let the black or grey hats know too much, so I believe they often coincide manual penalties with a backlink update, or some other update just to keep everyone guessing.
