How I got out of the Google dog house

    Recently swollenpickles.com copped a smack and dropped way down the Google SERPs. It was a very sad day. Anyway, 4 months later, and it looks like I'm back.

    Here's a summary of what I did (whether it contributed to getting back in or not, I'm not sure):

    1. Removed Text-Link-Ads
    2. Removed the PayPerPost tools code from my footer.php file
    3. Eased off on the PayPerPost opportunities
    4. Filed a reinclusion request via Googles webmaster tools

    Congrats on getting back in. 2 of my sites have been in the Google Dog House for about a month now. I'm hoping it ends soon!

    I also removed TLA from both sites and added nofollow tags to outbound links. Hope it helps.

    Have you done the reinclusion request? Give that a try as well.

    That was too much. I'm thinking that the tools code is what got you.

    I did this with a site over a year back and it seemed to work well. I did almost the same exact steps, ha ha. That is so strange!
