Howdy,
Something that immediately caught my eye was the link at the bottom of
the page, filled with keywords.
Drug Test - How To Pass A Drug Test - Drug Tests - Pass Drug Test -
Passing A Drug Test - Passing Drug Tests - Pass A Drug Test - Passing
Drug Test - Home Drug Test - Hair Drug Test - Drug Test Passing - How
To Pass Drug Test - Drug Test Kits - Beating Drug Tests - Drug Tests -
Marijuana Drug Test - Urine Drug Test - Home Drug Tests - How To Beat
A Drug Test - Beat Drug Test
Although not specifically mentioned in Google Guidelines, I figure it
would come under this:
Quality Guidelines - Basic Principles
-------------------------------------
"Make pages for users, not for search engines. Don't deceive your
users, or present different content to search engines than you display
to users.
Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule
of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done
to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask,
'Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't
exist?'"
://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
Clearly the only purpose for that link was to trick search engines. It
is on the homepage and links to the homepage. Although it is a common
mistake for webmasters to have a link called "home" on their homepage
(because it appears on every page of their site), you can count on
alarm bells sounding when a homepage links to itself 3 times (the top
logo, and two text links at the bottom).
That alone would be enough to have your site penalized.
Link Exchanging
---------------
Over the years Google has sometimes cracked down on link exchange schemes, such as:
http://passingpisstests.com/linkbuilder/link-exchange.php
Google say:
"Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's
ranking or PageRank"
://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
Not only would the words "link exchange" be easy for Google to find on
websites, when you consider that what makes Google so good is that it
looks at link relationships between sites, any exchanged link will be
obvious to them.
In my experience the only way to make link exchanges work is:
1) Do it privately, don't mention words like "link exchange" on your site
2) Make sure they equal less than a quarter of links pointing to your site
3) Don't have the links on a "links page". Spread them throughout your site
Ideally each party has multiple sites, so that
Site A1 links to site B2
Site B1 links to site A2
<head> Content
--------------
Google will never penalize a site for placing keywords in the META
keyword tag - after all, that is its purpose. Google pretty much
ignore that tag anyway, due to years of webmaster abuse (although the
new Yahoo search engine will pay some attention to it).
But when Google notices the following, then another alarm bell might sound:

Duplicate Content
-----------------
"Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with
substantially duplicate content."
://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
I noticed that you have two duplicate sites:
http://www.passingpisstests.com/
http://www.passingpisstest.com/
Google prefers to only have one copy of a site in its index, for the
benefit of the searcher. It is fine to have both domain names, but
Google prefers it if you use a permanent redirect (using a "301" code
in HTTP headers), so that only one site appears in results.
Getting a Good Ranking again
----------------------------
First of all, your site is still in Google, it just ranks near the
bottom of search results. The penalty is that your PageRank is now
zero. Solutions:
1) Remove all the dodgy SEO work
2) Remove the link exchange
3) Keep content on only one domain name (choose the one with the most
good links pointing to it) and either use a 301 redirect, or block
Google using robots.txt or just plain remove the other site
4) Email Google at help@google.com:
"We will not comment on the individual reasons a page was removed and
we do not offer an exhaustive list of practices that can cause
removal. However, certain actions such as cloaking, writing text that
can be seen by search engines but not by users, or setting up
pages/links with the sole purpose of fooling search engines may result
in permanent removal from our index. If you think your site may fall
into this category, you might try 'cleaning up' the page and sending a
re-inclusion request to help@google.com. We do not make any guarantees
about if or when we will re-include your site. "
://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html
Explain to them that your SEO did some dodgy things, and now you have
cleaned them up (detail what you have changed) and you would like to
have any penalty lifted.
Then it is just a case of waiting - changes sometimes take a month or
two to be reflected in search results.
FeelthePleasure.com
-------------------
I suspect the problem is duplicate content:
http://www.rush-poppers.us
http://www.feelthepleasure.com/
I also have a suspicion that you own these domain names:
www.detoxleader.com
www.affordabledetox.com
They appear to be set up just to be indexed by search engines, and
then re-direct to http://www.elitedetox.com/ - the use of such doorway
pages is against Google Guidelines.
