| Google De-Listed Some of My Sites |

I have a few sites which are considered to be content aggregators by myself. They pull content from varioius RSS feeds, and apparently Google has started hating them. I went from having 12,500 pages indexed collectively to none overnight. I removed the Text Link Ads from those sites, since Google apparently doesn't like them, and submitted a reinclusion request for each. Although the content may seem to be duplicate, my aggregators serve a purpose, especially Freebies From Across the Internet, which grabs freebies from all over the internet and puts them into one convienient, searchable (used to be searchable through Google custom search) place. Go ahead and check that one out. While I will admit that a couple of them were somewhat spammy due to some of the sources they pulled from, I really feel it was unfair that G pulled these pages. When I set some of them up, I had the intention of doing Blackhat SEO, but instead they all were a shade of grey, except for the freebies site which was legit and good (I got a free HD Audio fiber cable from it recently)...What am I going to do? One or more of the following:
