Hi xpose2000, sorry to here you are disappointed. Like I said before.. I'm pretty big on sharing my knowledge. I hope my experiences can be used to help someone else avoid the same pitfalls I did. That's all. I'm pretty sure SEOmoz decided to publish my article because they saw value in what it was saying and figured their user base could benefit from it. ~ Scott
Hi Trotsky, the site and content are not low quality. I understand what you are trying to get at, but it was really just my poor choice in linkbuilding activities that got my site penalized. Also, the fact that I have an EMD (Exact match domain) doesn't help as much either. ~ Scott
Yes. People stay on my site and view 10+ pages at a time and usually end up either clicking an affiliate link to go buy something on Amazon, for example, or clicking an Adsense ad, which is their own choice. Thanks for your feedback. ~ Scott (webmaster of the TBFA site)
Ya, I really did try my best. In my reconsideration request, after removing bad links as good as I could, I even apologized, just in case the Google reviewer reading my request might see that I'm being genuine.
