dont worry dude,

even if you did need to get back into the index it wouldnt be long

i recovered clients search rankings after malicious hacks one even where the hacker replaced the site with photos of dead Iraqi children from the war

the most ive seen the ban last for is about 3 months

Just goes to show it can be done. Google is not the be all and end all.

Absolutely correct. There are plenty other ways of generating traffic. And like you said, a site with Google Adsense on it performs better with traffic from search engines. Google penalized a site of mine once and I really noticed it. Income decreased to absolutely zero.

That experience really showed me that I should not rely on Google only!

ha ha ha Ha! that’s awesome man. if you had more directly relying on that traffic your tune would change and i think that’s maybe why so many get their knickers in knots over the thougts of losing something. great story tho and glad to see you back – even if you are currently not suckling at the teat.
