    Very high probability you were banned based on what you just said (or strong penalty). This would most likely be a product of purchased links for gaining pagerank or something really negative on your site (tons of reciprocal link exchange partners). You can reverse it, but it could take a few months. Did this just happen?

      thanks for your reply well i haven't been banned since the site is still indexed and listed... this isnt a new site either. about a month and half old. was testing to see how well it would do before making a real effort on it,

      i didnt do anything of what you mentioned, all i did was a press release and basic SEO social bookmark, rss, ping, etc, im kinda edging towards duplicate content... on my home page lol...

      good thing this wasnt one of my main projects and was using free web 2.0 or else i would of been upset.
