Google Improves SEO Customer Service - Re-inclusion for All
(Page 3 of 4 )
So what do you do if you are not one of those 100 webmasters getting e-mail from Google inviting you back? Maybe you had one of the websites who pushed the boundaries of SEO and found their website removed from Google's index, or maybe you stumbled upon some black-hat advice unwittingly. Regardless, there is something you can do.
There was once an email address I would write to in the past to try to have Google take a look at a websites for re-inclusion to their index. There is now a web form request that can be (and should be) filled out by anyone removed.
You can find the form at this location: http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py
So what exactly needs to go into the reinclusion report to have Google consider including your webpages? There is basically two issues that will need to be covered in the request.
1. You will need to cover the fact that the spam has been removed from your pages
2. You will not try using spam tactics again. You will want to cover the known or suspected spam tactics, what penalties you have received (or think you are under) and any forms of corrections you may have undertaken.
If you have hired an SEO firm,,, you will want to advise Google of such. You will also want to include information about the SEO company and actions they took. This shows Google a sign of good faith for your business as well.
SEO Firms, and those websites which have been designed mostly for affiliate revenue, will need to provide more proof of good faith evidence before a site will be re-included. These type of websites should already be well aware of Google's webmaster guidelines and not have sites that were dropped from the Google index.
There are a few things not to do when writing Google. Don’t inform them that you are an Google Adwords advertiser or a Google Adsense publisher. The people at Google who would be involved in re-inclusion requests will not care if you are or what other business you have with Google.
