Huh?? That's weird. That's the first time I heard a site was being penalized just by turning off their adsense. Hmm, I bet there is another reason why did google penalized those blogs.

How come? Why google penalized that site if they turn their adsense off. Agree on you mcaronan, possible that there is deep reason why they are penalized.

@nasty.web.. can you tell us, what the reason behind this? i mean to keep us warn and to avoid being banned by google.. thanks.

Maybe Google detected something going on their site... As we know that Google now is always on the go with regards to the site that is manipulating the PR in many ways...Google is implementing their new Google Linking Scheme.

Read This: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/10/24...og-link-farms/

Techcrunch seems to say that it's punishing blogs and blognetworks that have lots of links to other parts of the blog or network.

The only clear change appears to be among large scale blog networks and similar link farms, where each site in the network provides hundreds of outgoing links on each page of the blog to other blogs in the network, in some cases creating tens, even hundred of thousands of cross links. Previously such behavior has been rewarded by Google with high page rank, although it would now appear that this loop hole may now be shut.

Wow, Google is really bitting now. Why are they so angry? It's like the "spoiled brat" whinning, then lashing out when they can't get their way.
