not the first time they get penalized... but banned? maybe first.
im not sure if its cause of black hat tactics, but one thing worries me- they were clearly a network of sites, but for traffic purposes. they didnt interlink them for seo. so if that's enough to take down a network nowadays, there are many more out there at risk...
or maybe it was just a thin content type of penalty... the sites were basically clones of each other. so if one got in trouble, the rest were guilty by association
