Anyone with a website which is banned by Google?

If you use too much blackhat methods for link building and other methods of SEO, google will penalize you. In extreme cases they will simply ban you. Have you ever been a victim for google ban?

One of my website has got penalized by google once. But that was just temporary, in a few months the ban was over and traffic started to increase?

Mine got a temporary slap when I bought some crappy backlinks once.... It went from page 1 in a niche keyword on Google NZ, to page 5..... Traffic went from very low, to almost nothing... I was a bit discouraged after that and never really did anything more to the site- I'm not renewing the domain which is up for it this month...

I don't think i ever had a blog or site banned by Google but as mentioned before, I've had very active sites go to almost no traffic quickly. And, i'm sure that was related to a loss of search engine ranking. Though I've never engaged in getting spam links.
