Banned domain is doing well, can I get it unbanned?

    Before I bought getcredit365.net I had getcredit365.com - I picked the .com up off a drop list of expired domains. So I went about building the site and building backlinks, paying for a fair number of them and doing alot of SEO for it. After 6 months I was curious as to why my site still wasnt indexed. It turns out from what I can tell that the domain was banned by Google long before I ever bought it. Yahoo's cache showed many spammy looking URLs for the domain and leads me to believe, that again, the domain was banned before I ever bought it.

    I tried submitting a reinclusion request but never got an answer. So I eventually bought getCredit365.Net and relaunched the site. The .net version is doing decent so far in a niche that is extremely competitive, im building backlinks, re-doing all the previous work I had done.

    Today I decided to check some stuff on the old domain, like where i had gotten some backlinks from because Iwebtool was constantly telling me I had a predicted PR of 4, of course you cant get PR on a banned domain. Well it turns out I have close to 1000 backlinks and an Alexa ranking of ~350,000

    What is the possibility of submitting another reinclusion request saying "Look, heres the site on the .Net domain, its not spammy, its a good site, unban the .Com please" and actually having it be unbanned? Im really worried they're gonna look at the .Net version and label it spam or even worse ban it.

    I dont participate in anything bad, I just submit to directories, article submissions, etc.

    you can submit a reinclusion request from G webmaster tools. G webmaster tools>login to your account>tools (on the rigth and up side)>submit a reinclusion request . that's all;)

    i definitely think you should resubmit your reinclusion request...the .com domain is already banned, you can't do much worse than that and they wouldn't just ban your .net domain to be vindictive...with all things google, it seems persistence pays off, especially if you are white-hat and have nothing to hide. just my 2c.

    I think you should keep .net site and redirect the visitors of .com site to .net site. Hows that?

    That is a nice, easy solution - or just contact the big G. They are usually pretty understanding, so long as you are not doing anything sneaky you have nothing to worry about :)

    If its been a while since your last re-inclusion request I'd try again. In my experience google can be pretty slow, but they will look at if if you keep giving them a nudge every now and then.

    i visit your site and i think you deserve a reinclusion. If you remember what did you do why you get banned better explain to them.

    The domain was banned before I ever bought it, it was never once included in the index from the time I bought it or before (Couldnt find anything for in Google when I bought it)

    Ive always heard that linking to, or especially a 301 from a bad site to a good site can drag the good site down which is why I opted for a javascript redirect because I dont think it gives link juice or 301 attributes to it but still gets old visitors to the main site

    I submitted my reinclusion and can only hope...

    If that were true, couldn't someone underhanded take down their competitor that way? I mean, they could deliberately link from a bad site to a good one to hurt the site. I always thought Google avoiding penalizing the good site because you can't really control who links to you; one can only control their outgoing links.

    In any event, good luck with the reinclusion :D
