Reinclusion Requests
Posted by John Honeck on March 9th, 2007
On 11/29/06 Adam Lasnik confirmed that Reinclussion requests are not just for totally banned sites where he stated:
It’s a trust thing. We don’t accept completely anonymous reinclusion requests; everyone who submits a request does so now through our Webmaster Tools (when they’re logged in). Basically, there’s no harm in filling one out if you feel your site’s presence or ranking in Google has been adjusted due to guideline violations… but, obviously, we probably wouldn’t be terribly amused or apt-to-reinclude if we received such requests with annoying frequency (e.g., daily requests for 174 of your different sites). Common sense applies, and — thankfully — has reigned surpreme in the area of reinclusion requests so far
To file a reinclusion request you will need to log into your Google Webmaster Tools account and open the Tools box by clicking the “+”. You will see a link for submit a reinclusion request open up.
