Re: Is this for real? Every single niche is already owned by someone?

The only way you'll find a niche that someone isn't targeting is to create your own. It wouldn't be a niche if no one was targeting it.

Re: Why did Google ban my website?

Google took manual action on one of my sites, but I contested it and they apologized + reinstated it. Just send in a reconsideration request and let them know that your site provides value.
