We have just done a check on 2 sites that we have not bothered with for over a couple of years, as the HP suddenly went from PR5 to PR0.
The HP´s are still indexed, but all the other pages are not.
We found quite a few outgoing links to sites that are now banned by G.
OK, so we boobed. Entirely our fault.

you can normally tell that a site is under Google penalty when it has PR but shows nothing when a site: command is issued. Obviously the same can be done with PR0 sites (as that is what the banned site will eventually have). You have to be a bit more careful with a PR0 site though because it may be new and therefore not yet indexed by Google - and that would give a false impression of it being banned.
Please do not PM me your directories for inclusion. Instead announce them in the directory promotion and list suggestions thread. All requests and questions regarding inclusion that are made via PM will be ignored.
Is there an easy way to tell that sites are "Cross linked, as each had quite a few sites on the same C class." (Other than following each link and checking IP addresses) This seems like it would take forever to check.
To check for sites on the same IP or C block is easy. Cross linking is a bit more tricky as you might need to look at more than a single page on a site. How deep do you go? 1 level, 2 levels, 3 levels? How many pages do you check? 10? 100? 1000? 10000?
Linking to banned sites ?
