http://blog.searchenginewatch.comOooh, pretty new design here Dave! I like it. I want it!
Anyway, site:digg.com gives me 7 million plus, site:www.digg.com gives me 134,000. Of course, they ought to be the same. But BigDaddy solved that whole canonical stuff, right?

http://www.ogletreeseo.comThat is very odd. It seems to be a canonical issue. site:digg.com gives you a bunch of results. A search for digg brings up the non www. Funny “www.digg.com” has 324,000 results and “digg.com” has 11,300,000. Looks like everybody is linking to digg without the www. I thought big daddy was supposed to fix this kind of stuff. It is not gone you can still do site searches and find things.
Dave did you put nofollow on you site on purpose? I was hoping you would be on anti nofollow side.

As for the ban – looks like general technical problems Google is having.
One of my big non-commercial reference sites disappeared for a couple of days for itself, but Google seems to have found it again.
No longer ranking for its major keywords. I guess even unsolicited sitewides on gov sites can be bad.
