Good post and nice information. I got a lot of stuff to learn especially regarding the free instant approval article directories.
Just wanted to add that PageRank 0 does not signify a banned site. The banned and extremely new websites have no PageRank (which shows up as a grayed out bar). Pagerank 0 is one step “above” No PageRank. So the order should be as – No PageRank, PageRank 0, PageRank 1, PageRank 2……Pagerank 10.
