I have a few dilemas for 2 sites:

Site1 - Was PR5 and now Google has wiped all back links, no cache, no PR. I am going to try and clean the site up is its a bit dated and there must be something within that Google does not like. The links pages have lots of related links but i am wondering if i should bin them all and start again?

There is too many to go back and check by hand especially as some are 3 way links so my site may not be on theirs - Any ideas? should i leave them and concentrate on updating the actual site?

Site2 - its new, Has a PR4 and links pages are PR3 (hardly any links). Is linking the way to go? I have heard many people saying that Google now frowns upon linking with other sites? In that case should i do 3 way linking? or should i just find lots and lots of directories?

Lots of questions here, if anyone can input it would help me making a starting point before i begin wiping out pages of links or starting a linking campaign for the other - thanks folks!

Well the first site sounds banned, and the second seems to be following the same promotional path....

The first site has been banned.
This is what I mean, I am trying to get the first site back into Google and need advice as to whether I should delete all the links and try again or not?
This may or may not be the reason why it was banned but could be a factor.

The second site needs to get exposure, it gets zero hits and the only way to get found is surely bt adding my info to directories or swapping links?

*This may or may not be the reason why it was banned but could be a factor.*

Your plan sounds a bit drastic, have you tried to narrow down the possibilities?
Doing so would also help you plot a safer course for the second site, maybe ask for a review on a forum that allows that.

As for coming back from the dead, the feeling was things were never quite the same after a ban, but that may have changed in these days of reinclusion requests ;-)

Thanks Glengarra.
Do you know of any forums that my look at my site? Could you sticky me if you do know?
Thanks
