Note to self

I had my first deslisted domain a couple days ago. It originally had a very low CTR (about 3-5%) but was indexed and ranking well in the major SE's. In an attempt to raise the CTR I changed the template to a more ad-focused one (read spammy). While the CTR did get up around 15% after the change, it got delisted about 2 weeks after the change. I'm convinced (although one can never be too sure) that since it was a techie site someone reported it to the SE's.

Moral of the story: When you create a scrapper site in a somewhat tech-savvy niche don't use a spammy template.

Lesson learned.
