Hi Can anyone tell me how long it takes for Google to respond/consider the reconsideration requests for the website on the webmasters tool. My website has been filtered on the search engines and i have sent the reconsideration requests about a week ago but No reply. Please advice thanks
I never experience the reconsideration in Google. But I think this one can help you.. reconsideration
As I have also faced such problem. I do one thing, create my xml sitemap again and after submitting it in the Google webmaster tool, make verify that again and send the request to the Google again for reconsideration. My site was reconsidered by the Google after some days. As normally it take some some only or sometime may be weeks but not more than that. You have to put again the reply to Google for that if much time has been passed.
I also tried that, I want to retrieve my blog and applied for a reconsideration to put it back, I got a respond saying someone will take a look at it and wait for respond I guess its been 3 months or so and I still didn't get any respond whether good or bad.
It took me 4 tries to figure out what was wrong. Ever reply took 3 weeks. Get a G WMT account asap for that site. How they de-rank your site, unless it's totally deindexed is to devalue your links. For instance my one site had about 3 million total links, but in Google WMT it only listed a few thousand, way off. So I knew I was penalized. If you have a general idea of how many links you have, you can see if you are penalized. After my 4th reconsideration, I went from about 4000 links in WMT to about a million. That's a good benchmark, I hear.
pjman, did you write something specific to them in this reconsideration request, or just push the button 'reconsider please'?
Yes, I wrote something very specific each time. I pointed out anything that could have penalized me. I included why I did it and how I fixed it it. Otherwise, don't bother. They really will only penalize you for very valid reasons 99% of the time.
just keep searching in google for your site,and you will find it one day,google does not reply to emails they will just add your site
It completely depends on your site crawl rate. By default search engine will decided site crawl rate. As per my knowledge the crawl rate will be assigned on site content and how frequently the content updates.
