    There is an option to have some of your site's pages removed from google index through the webmaster tools, so I used that. But turns I had more pages removed than I needed too. So anyone has any ideas how to get them back? Does google reindex pages that were previous removed, so should I like submit some special request for that, or just change the urls?

    You can add the URL of those pages again to your Sitemap or add them in Google’s index using fetch as Googlebot tool.

    thanks, I have some links to those pages from the homepage, do you think that'd be enough to get them added again?

    Are you trying to fix a Panda problem? I'd be super curious on how this works. We ended up deleting thousands of pages and 301 the old URLs.

    I removed some of my site's URL with URL removal tool in Webmasters but it didn't hurt other pages. If you want these pages again in Google index you can add them with Fetch as Google bot available in Webmasters.
