Not sure if this had anything to do with this but I am guessing they reported my site for spamming.

Search engines still find the links. Get this - they even give an SEO boost to sites listed in the Project Spam directory because they can read the url's right there too. Sometimes, they slap the word spam in front of it, but the links are still being picked up. I don't recommend you heh heh deliberately try to get your links removed. But if you do and you wind up in the WikiProject_Spam directory, don't feel too bad, you still getting SEO. The nofollow thing is garbage. Search engines still find the links.

However it is still worth getting a link from the relevant page for traffic purposes only. I have recieved about half my traffic for a particular keyword from wikipedia as I get from google. Not bad at all. Yep, all external links on wikipedia is nofollow. However it is still worth getting a link from the relevant page for traffic purposes only.

It's pretty well establish that a fair number of keyword-rich links in blog positings (that implement can help a site rank. I've heard of people getting to the #3 or #4 page (30'th-40'th) spot for highly competitive keywords. I've also noticed that some new sites seem to not just a 'sandbox' but also a 'honeymoon'. During the honeymoon it seems that Google scans the site again and again trying to determine if it's a blog or another site that gets updated frequently. Pretty soon the site starts getting hits from people searching for non-competitive keywords. In a month or so, if the site isn't getting updated, the scan rate drops and suddenly the search results start coming. This is the dreaded 'sandbox'. I've noticed, however, that a single fresh nofollow link from a blog can, very quickly, get the site ranking again for noncompetive terms. This trick isn't powerful enough to help you quit your day job, but it certainly helps when you're trying to bring in enough adsense to cover the domain name registration!

Except the obscure examples on your site like: "West Chester church shepherd"?????? Your own site "centiare.com" is not ranked in the top 5 pages on google(that's as far as i checked) for free directory, directory, or free encyclopedia. Also Wiki is ranked #1 in google for "Search Engine Optimization". Can you give some better examples of results from using your site? Thanks, MarkJ. P.S. Great site Eli! I've been lurking for about 3 days and using some of your tips I've got a free PR4 link to my site and a PR6 listing on Wiki. You Da Man!!!
