I think I may have bought a penalized domain... Im wondering if I should call Google, or do a reconsideration request etc. Are they hard to get on the phone???
my site was also banned in google last week and it was totally removed from google search. I have submited the reconsideration form but google will reply only if they think my site is not violating their terms. And I am unable to figure out which term I have violated. Any ways it can take 1 week 1 month 2 months or may be 6 months.. There is no fix time line..
I've filled a reconisderation request about 3 weeks ago... One of my sites was banned for selling dofollow text links, which dropped in ranking and lost it's PR Guess what, after I've filled the form by about 7 days... the site started to rank once again and it's old PR started to show up even in Google Toolbar However, it might take less or more than that.. just wanted to share my experience though Bottom line: Google says it's going to read all reconsideration request and it seems they are doing that.
