You can build up a genuine and informative blog, with fresh and rare content and well written posts updated each day, and then suddenly you are gone from Google and your livlihood is down the drain.

I have a network of about 200 blogs in the same niche. Obviously, the vast majority are splogs. I have one site that I really take a lot of care over, and that is building up a number of repeat visitors. In fact, I'd say it is the best site for the niche in question by a country mile. Last month it briefly got on to the front page of Google for the niche leading keyword (highly competitive) and I was getting a stack of traffic. My webhosts (lunarpages) immediately suspended my account saying that I was draining resources on the server. Took me a couple of days to switch to a new host, by which time I'd disappeared completely from Google. I submitted a request for re-inclusion through Webmaster Tools but still no luck.

Fuck that. I'm just going to work on my splogs in future and if 50 get randomly thrown out by Google, I know that I can still make money from the other 150.

BTW, if you Google 'top adult webhosts', a name that often pops up is Lunarpages. Don't ever host with them. Their terms and conditions do not allow adult hosting on shared servers, although they will only kick you off without warning when you start to get a bit of traffic.
