As for some reasons it may have gotten banned, well, there's quite a few. Since you said there was no blackhat going on, I'm going to rule out on-site SEO (ie: hidden text, small text, overstuffing keywords, etc...). You may have gotten links from known banner farms, you may have had excessive links from guestbooks, refspams, blogs, etc... But chances are you're not banned. From the way you described it, you had an htaccess problem and its more than likely bots weren't able to hit your site. That's the impression I got. Do what I suggested in the first post and then I can help you out further. Posting the url would help as well.
