Thanks for commenting. This is a good question. I’m thinking there may be some ‘culling’ in Google’s index in regards to BANS in the future. Since the popularity has increased, and the quality of BANS contribution to the public being low (in most cases), I can see Google removing these sites from their index. I think eBay store fronts in general will be fine, but BANS has such a spammy footprint and a easy algorithm to find and remove.

I could be wrong, and this is just my opinion (which doesn’t mean much), but seeing BANS sites being dropped or penalized could be a possibility.

If I was a BANS user, I would make some customizations to change the footprint.
