What can you say about Google and 'their methods' at this point? The very people that made G what it is today, are the people they attack without hesitation. This was obviously a case of an individual at G going after all your sites on a particular server at a specific IP address.
As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger. I'm confident that this will ultimately work to make you stronger.
As one of you biggest fans and a member of HSA I am truly saddened to read this. I noticed a few days ago a couple of your sites were de-indexed and feared that something bad had happened. I have been with you since SEO PressFormula and almost everything I know I learnt from your courses. Your help, guidance and inspiration has stopped me from giving up more times than I can remember. Long may you be around to give solid relevant training
Sad to hear about your hiccup. To be honest, I thing Google have lost the plot and have become a corporate monster and forgotten that the internet is about freedom. I wonder how the founders of Google would have felt when they started up and some one did this to them???
Thanks for the advise on sponsored links and dont let them grind you down.
Brian, thanks for sharing, and your honesty. Its probally a combination of someone's jealousy and the big "G" trying to send you a message not to reveal you tactics to the masses. All your methods are totally white hat and work. I totally support you and your products. You're a true inspiration. Thank you
How could google not like your sites you have great sites and try to provide real content and help to everything I have seen you do. I started following you with the launch of Alex's Google Conquest when I was really impressed by the way you ran the who program you were a great coach. I hate that your are going to have to curve your openness you are one of the marketers that I could and will put my trust into. Good Luck
Sorry, to hear about your experience, but I had heard from a lot of the other gurus that they are really cracking down on anything affiliate. I will do what you suggest because I have all of my sites with google adsense....I am in HSA...thanks for the heads up
I was really saddened to hear of your latest news, especially since your wonderful methods work so well - and are all 'White Hat'
I have been online since monitors were green and Windows hadn't even come out yet - and while I have about 50 WP Blogs I never really had the results I thought was possible until I joined Auto Content Cash. Most of my sites are all now on the first page of Google all thanks to you and your honest approach.
Hey Brian. Thanks for the video and email. I feel so bad that this has happened to you. However, with every bad situation there comes out a new learning experience for you and therefore for all of us. I've so enjoyed Auto Content Cash and the Halloween super Affiliate program, and know that you will benefit from this unfortunate situation is some way. Thanks so much, and we'll see you on the next training. Valerie
Wow...I am truly sorry to hear you had to deal with that. Anybody who has been with you for a while, knows you go the extra mile mentoring and supporting your students so that they too can experience online success. It just seems so unfair
Also have to state that this video speaks for itself in that you openly disclose this (when more than likely know one would have been the wiser) yet you chose to be forthright and honest, hoping others would benefit from it.
I appreciate all that you do and your openness to share everything you have learned in the last 10 years or so! Sorry to hear that you were a victim of circumstance. I have taken many classes of other marketers and you are by far the most informative. I have learned more from you than any other. I know you will find a solution to the problem and continue on.
I wonder how your other sites are doing on other servers, but had your adsense code (the one linked to the account in question).
Did sites on other servers also get de-indexed? I can see the adsense team easily track your other sites, just by following domains that had your adsense account code.
I am so sorry! I am a member of your CR. Prior to CR I tried other programs with no success. I was frustrated and desperate when joined CR. As a result of CR last year I put up 3 Halloween sites and made over $800 in commissions. Your methods plain work and still work. I thank you for sharing so much and real life examples with us. It has helped me so much to see an actual site to model. I appreciate you sharing this. You have made a huge difference in my life - so thank you! Rachael P.
Thanks for sharing Brian. I think your products and teaching are great!!! So glad you are not a quitter! Keep pushing forward as we are praying for you to come back stronger, better and able to help even more people! Burt
I'm not sure I understand what Google has against affiliate links. Perhaps someone could enlighten me. Google is, after all, all about money and advertising. That is precisely how it make its gazillions of dollars. And if Google doesn't like affiliates then why is there a Google Affilate Network? The only "sin" here was the fact that these adsense ads were apparently not marked as such. Fair enough. By all means, Google, slap Brian's wrist but don't break his legs. What am I missing here?
Really sorry to hear this Brian. Its such a shame that Google won't notify people with a warning and allow them to fix what may be an innocent problem without that drastic action. I wonder if those sites will get re-indexed? Good luck, I'm with you all the way.
Hey Brian. On the one hand, it is unforunate that google de-indexed you but at the same time, it is good to know that google has integrity and wants to make sure site surfers will know what is a sponsored link. It seems to me that if you play by google rules, you shouldn't have a problem. Brian's methods are top-notch and we can all learn from Brian's mistake. Thanks Brian. Best regards, greg
It really sucks that this has happened - kind of goes against all of Google ideals about rewarding high quality websites. I know your methods work, they've made me thousands of dollars in the past year or so - thanks for sharing this video, I know you'll bounce back stronger for this!
Thank you for sharing your info. Sorry to hear they have made things tuff for you. I know you will bounce back and you are a person of integrity. I have been following you for a year and finally bought some of your program. Again, thank you for sharing your info.
sorry to hear poogle has delivered a heavy blow brian, but what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger...all the best in getting back to the income you were pulling in...i wonder if in time those sites will re-rank? hope so..thanks for your sincerity over the years...keep sharing, we need inspiring peeps like you..cheers
Very sorry to hear what's happened here. It's totally unfair that your sites have been de-indexed without even giving you a chance to "correct your mistakes".
I am extremely appreciative of all the training you have provided during Commission Ritual, Auto Content Cash and now Halloween Super Affiliate and I'm constantly growing more confident and it's all thanks to you and your down to earth and honest approach to Internet Marketing. I believe in your methods - Thanks for everything!
Brian is absolutely correct: The site in question gives people EXACTLY what they were looking for. What else could Google want? I don't know how many sites I visit that do not, or have the item berried amongst a host of other products and offers. The fact of the matter is, Brian, and other marketers, make Google a TON of money. They should treat us better.
Thank you for letting me know about this Brian, and I´m sorry that it has happened to you. I think that it is a shame that they did this, and all for a silly mistake that you made, I shall continue to watch you as I have a lot of respect for you.
Brian, This is terrible, but like everyone else here, I believe in your methods and trust you completely and you will prevail, you are an excellent teacher and guru. You will get through this and it will be even bigger! Good luck we care! Lisa J
Thanks a lot Brian. It is normal nowadays when you at the top there are always people who get jeolous and happy when we fall down.
Anyway keep up a good job, now I know why so many mentor's out there reluctance to show their works online BUT I'm salute you bcoz for me you one of them who are sincere even it will be risky.
Brian - I know this feeling all to well. I released a product where I listed the url to every site I owned (which weas over 100 sites). Shortly after the report was released I received an email from the adsense team telling me the same information you received only in my case they disabled every site I had using adsense.
This happened even though I have been with the adsense folks since 2005, never had a problem before and was a huge earner. Now I don't reveal sites with adsense on them.
Thanks for sharing Brian. I don't know if this applies to you or not but a little over a year ago I had a bunch of sites that got de-indexed from Google but rank high in Yahoo and Bing. What I want to point out is, all were listed in "Google's Webmaster Tools". The few sites that were NOT in the webmaster tools were not de-indexed and are still indexed to this day. All were on the same shared server. My lesson (and advice) to others is, don't use anything extra that leaves a Google paper trail.
Interesting video Brian. I learned a thing or two from it. Hope you get everything back in order... but you have to protect yourself as well. I use Google a LOT, but I'm beginning to hate them because of their "AT&T attitude" which was "I'm the biggest and the best, so I can do what I want to anyone I want." Sigh. Thanks!
Everyone who takes your training, paid or unpaid, cannot fail to be impressed by your integrity and honesty. I am sorry that you are being penalized for your transparency. Unfortunately, google's actions mean that we will all suffer because you now have to be more guarded.
Hey Brian I know your system works this is not going to jar me at all. Every site I have built using your methods they end up ranking well :) Google adsense is not the only advertising kid in the block. So they can (fill in the blanks)
You're the guy who I believe more than anyone on the internet. For me, you're the best. Your methods are simple and they plain work.
Thanks again for sharing your mistakes also. I have learned a lot with your programs and the good thing is that everybody sees that you are honesty and integrity person. The internet is huge, and I consider myself a lucky guy who found you.
Thanks for sharing about this problem I really appreciate your willingness to be so open about it and it speaks well of you. I am benefiting from your teaching and find a lot of lobic in the methods you teach us. Keep up the good work and I am sure this will be a mere hickup for you.
I am 100% behind the methods you are teaching in your Halloween Super Affiliate course, which are completely white hat and ethical. You keep teaching and I'll keep following :)

It is sad to know about your site got deindexed.
Maybe you could try to change the DNS of the deindexed site to your other shared hosting server.
Hope it will be get re-index.

Thanks for sharing, its good to know that you have the integrity to share this experience with everyone.
I went into HSA myself knowing that I would only put 10-20 sites per shared hosting IP and I was forgoing adsense altogether because of its footprint.
Remember people, footprints are bad! Same IP, same theme, same Ad Sense, same Google Analytics, same anything. Avoid it.
Keep building but be aware of your footprint!

Brian,
Thanks for sharing...this is like the worst nightmare for anyone in the IM business.
There is no reason for this kind of targeting on Google's part.
Makes me even more concerned that Google's policy is you are 'guilty until proven innocent'.
Over the past year I have shifted everything to SEO hosting, buying private domains and only using Yahoo email accounts, etc..
This approach is more expensive but protects my investment.
