SEO Experts, can I get your opinion on Google's reply on the PR0 ranking for consumptionjunction.com?
Hi Rick,
Thank you for your note. We searched for your site and found that it is currently included in our search results. To see the results of our search, please visit the following link:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=Google+Search
As you may know, results in our index change regularly based on ongoing, automated processes aimed at improving the quality and content of our search results. Changes you observe may include, but are not limited to, addition of new sites, changes in the ranking of existing sites, sites falling out of the index or getting dropped and sites' content fluctuating between old and new content.
We realize these changes can be confusing. However, these processes are completely automated and not indicative of wrong-doing or penalization of individual sites. We currently include over four billion pages in our index and it is certainly our intent to represent the content of the internet fairly and accurately. The ongoing changes you have observed are part of this effort.
While we cannot guarantee that your page will consistently appear in our index or appear with a particular rank, we do offer guidelines for building a "crawler-friendly" site. You can find these guidelines at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html. Following these recommendations may increase the likelihood that your site will show up consistently in Google search results.
We hope the information we have provided above is helpful to you. Due to the tremendous volume of information and help requests we receive, we are not always able to provide personal attention to questions pertaining to individual websites. If this response did not adequately resolve your question, we hope that you will visit the webmaster section of our site at http://www.google.com/webmasters/. In an effort to better address your needs, we've dedicated this entire section of our website to answering common webmaster questions, listing Google's quality requirements and recommendations, and much more.
Of course, we cannot anticipate and answer everyone's questions on our website. Realizing this, we have also created a Google discussion group on Google Groups where Google users and webmasters can connect to share their vast knowledge and experience. You can access this group at http://groups.google.com/groups?q=go...pport.general. If you have already checked the webmaster section of our website and haven't found an answer, we encourage you to post your question to the Google Support group.
Regards,
The Google Team

Subject: Our Site was banned and we've done nothing wrong

Hello,
I own ConsumptionJunction.com one of the largest websites in the world.
We get millions of unique visitors each day and we've never done link trades or anything else that could possibly be construed as unfair manipulation of the Google.com search results. We have 10s of thousands of links out there pointing at our site and all those links were placed on the web out of free will by the owners of the respective websites.
Why then were we banned? When I search for Consumption Junction I only find sites that have nothing to do with Consumption Junction!
Please look into this and tell me what I can do to get consumptionjunction.com unbanned. We should have a PR 8 but instead we have a PR 0. It just isn't fair.
