The Enigma - Are these the symptoms of a banned site?

PR went from 5 to 0, thousands of pages disappeared

[wayzel]

I had two sites, one at www.widget.com and another affiliate site with thousands of pages about widgets that linked to www.widget.com.

The affiliate page was ranking top 20 for thousands of keywords for several months, and improving steadily. Traffic then went into 'turbo' mode for about 5 days in early September, and then, suddenly, dropped off to 0.

The PR on both sites went down to 0 and has been that way for about a week now.

Meanwhile, the www.widget.com site, which never ranked well, became even harder to find. When I look at the cached result, I get this thing called 'supplemental result' and the cached date is posted as 2/24/2004. If I sift through things, I also see other internal pages cached very recently, and, additionally, I see another www.widget.com homepage result with a cache of 9/10/04.

What do you guys think?
