I just received this in my Google Webmasters account.

Dear site owner or webmaster of http://siteaddress.xxx,
We've detected that some of your site's pages may be using techniques that are outside Google's Webmaster Guidelines.
Specifically, we detected low-quality pages on your site which do not provide substantially unique content or added value. Examples could include thin affiliate pages, doorway pages, automatically generated content, or copied content. For more information about unique and compelling content, visithttp://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66361.
We encourage you to make changes to your site so that it meets our quality guidelines. Once you've made these changes, please submit your site for reconsideration in Google's search results.
If you have any questions about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support.
Sincerely,
Google Search Quality Team
Could i earn myself a ban like this? Ive been making autoblogs the past month or so and this particular site was one of them. I have crossed the payment threshold too and dont want to lose the money. As a precautionary i have stopped Feedpress from syndicating posts to the site. I think this might mean that the site has been de-indenxed?

Lastly, ive done a site:url search in google and it still shows some results.

I think you were lucky to get a shot across the bows. Usually it's just a Google happy slap and goodnight Irene.
 
Consider urself lucky. G picked it up as Grey hat otherwise u would be cleaning toilets.
 
Should i consider carrying on with the site a no go zone? Can I lose my adsense account like this?
 
You will most likely loose your adsense account if you continue.
 
G has been on a big Adsense swipe this month so definitely tread carefully.
 
lucky one , fix your website asap
or remove adsense from it
 
Is your site still appearing in the G search engine for your targeted keywords? Usualy when G sends a warning like this you are off the serp and they are waiting for you to make all the required correction and re-submit it for reconsideration (which will be made manual).
 
thanks guys, site still appears when doing site:"" search. Site was monetised using a twitter feed+autoblog+adsense method. Im removing adsense from it and saying bugger it. One last prob, ive got about 30 other sites monetised the same way. Now what?
 
They are actually showing you some love! @Google they have a hard time expressing their real emotions... :dog_walk1
 
You need to beware of this.

I got banned after getting tyhis.. try fixing it asap!
 
Wow, Google actually took the time to send you an email rather than bitch slapping you? Your Adsense clicks must convert pretty well for advertisers or something. I would do what ever they say if those sites are making you any money.
 
At this stage the message is limited to one specific domain, but I have all the others under the same webmasters account and with the same adsense account :o Adsense has been removed from the offending site but not the others thus far
 
I have seen them many times, even when with geniune unique content sites without adsense on them, Didnt do anything and submitted for reconsideration, it worked :)
 
Typically, you get that message after already being slapped in the results. Usually not a big deal though.
 
After all, it can be seen at first glance. It's normal marketing exercise to promote Adwords.
 
If you have adsense on your site, remove it ASAP.

Then, make the necessary changes and submit it to Google for reconsideration.

You will hear back from them within a week.
 
one of my Adsense account got banned because of G translated pages after a notice like this.
