    Can anyone advise the reasons why a site would be on penalty from a major search engine.

    There are very many, too numerous to list. Start by reading the Webmaster Guidelines pages for the various search engines.

    Things like hidden text or links, sneaky redirects, keyword stuffing, and many forms of duplicate content will get you. Additionally, there are many things that stop a site being indexed that are just caused by poor site design.

    What do you think you might have done, that was not acceptable?

    I am interested in this, I have read that sometimes sites get penalized by mistake, bad coding, etc. I read of a site that is penalised that has a PR 5, how can that be true. I have read about sites penalized and come out of trouble without a problem.

    Also how can you the difference between a penalty and a ban do you lose PR when it is a ban

    These searches will tell you a lot about your site:

    site:domain.com
    site:domain.com inurl:www
    site:domain.com -inurl:www
    site:www.domain.com
    site:www.domain.com inurl:www
    site:www.domain.com -inurl:www


    In particular they tell you about duplicate content issues, and some expose what Supplemental Results you have. Analysis of both of those related issues is very important.

    Hopefully my site (see profile) will never be on penalty. I'm curious about what could cause a site to be on penalty.

    For my new site, I want to start off the correct foot !

    When you are penalized I think you will loose PR, you will not loose all the supplemental results, but you will loose all the top rankings. You will not loose all the link popularity from Google. And once you are penalized its hard to get back on track because now you have to convince Google that you will not do these mistakes and you are under radar check from Google. Also once you fix it you can login into webmaster tools from Google and make a re-inclusion request to Google.
    Some of the factors at high level which are related to get under red flag in Google:

    1) Duplicate Content
    2) Too many links on the page eg: over 100 on a page.
    3) Keyword stuffing and Cloaking
    4) Submitting site to FFA links.


    Keep in mind BAD HTML will not ban you from Google. Google will just have trouble indexing the page. I think when you are banned means no more Google will care about you.
