I'm just going to point out that this site is hosted by wisegeek.com, a site that was hit hard by the panda update (see http://www.quantcast.com/wisegeek.com). Although the data is accurate, I wouldn't feel sorry for most of these sites.

Full disclosure. I used to work for ChaCha. I am no longer associated with the company, but in my time there I know a lot of time/effort/money went into producing original content.

An aside. Pandalized was using a domain proxy so I connected to port 80 via telnet which gave me back the following banner (which gave up the hostname): Apache/2.2.8 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.4.2 PHP/5.2.5-3+lenny2 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at strongwiki.wisegeek.com Port 80

Interesting aside. I didn't even know domain proxies existed, although I'm sure that's common knowledge, and a fairly obvious thing to create.

Can you walk me through the way you discovered the hostname? If I `telnet pandalized.com 80`, I don't get anything interesting back.

Ah .. I got it. telnet in, then print some garbage, causing the server to respond with an error. This comes from the main Apache instance, rather than the individual virtualhost, and that has the hostname you mentioned. Clever.
