My site has been blocked from Google's index

Hi,

My site http://www.lowpricehosting.net has been blocked from Google's index and the "Google Team" have told me so!!!

Let me explain... I noticed that my site wasn't in Google at all and it should have been as other sites of mine with high PR numbers contain links to it.

A search on Google for:

site:www.lowpricehosting.net - no results
link:www.lowpricehosting.net - no results
[www.lowpricehosting.net] - 46 results

So Google know I am there. So I sent them an email and this is what they say:

Hi Gary,

Thank you for your reply. Your page has been blocked from our index because it does not meet the quality standards necessary to assign accurate PageRank. We cannot comment on the individual reasons your page was removed. However, certain actions such as cloaking, writing text in such a way that it 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. Please read our Webmaster Guidelines at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html for more information.

The Google Team
Now my site doesn't contain any cloaking or hidden text. In fact the site is only 5 pages!!!

Two possibilites I can think of:

1) I have a link exchange running at http://www.lowpricehosting.net/partners which is linked from the main page.
2) I have a link to a resource directory provided by http://www.linkexchangeexperts.com/

As a precaution I have removed myself from the "automatic" resource directory (I guess read link exchange) http://www.linkexchangeexperts.com/ and I emailed the "Google Team" back. Their response was the same:
