Removed From Google Index, and Wondering Why? - On the Other Hand...
(Page 6 of 6 )
If your sites were dropped due to algorithm changes, then it is possible that they could come back after a clean up. However, their supporting network of links has, at the very least, been devalued. That alone will cause a change in PR, even if cleanup makes them eligible for reinclusion. Site owners report that in these cases, cleaned up sites have come back into the results in two to six months. Getting back to the top would take additional time, and new, unblemished linking.
There are two schools of thought that apply. After clean-up, resubmit the site, or allow it to be found via linkage. Though Google states that there's no oversubmission penalty, most webmasters tend to be leary of such submission, and prefer to allow robots to find the site via linkages.
I've never experienced a problem with resubmitting URLs that have dropped out for whatever reason. I take Google at their word that it's harmless, as long as it's a manual resubmission for good reason (for example, page down when the crawler came through), not submission through a service or promotion program. One submission is enough. Either way, watch the site logs. If robots don't show up, it could be a case of manual deletion and permanent ban.
The site needs to be squeaky clean for the near term. The days of easy SEOing are on hiatus. The old-fashioned methods (content for users, natural linking) are back. Many sites may find that they have quite a backlog of goodwill links left. Those must be preserved and strengthened, while getting rid of harmful inbound linking.
Again, there's no guarantee or certainty of getting back into the Google index. You need to use the same procedures already discussed...and sit through the same wait and see period.
