Last week one of my main sites got banned in Google Search Engine Index (thanks to my amateurish black hat seo attempts). It was a WordPress blog and was continuously updated in Google Index through sitemap. Now they have pushed down my site deep under that it has almost become a supplemental result. I tried sending a request through their re-inclusion request form but so far no response. Therefore I am thinking of an alternate method. Let us assume my site is www.mydomain.com. I am thinking of buying mydomain.net, getting included in Google and point it to mydomain.com. By pointing, I dont mean a simple redirect. Say I have a page at http://mydomain.com/category/page1.html. If someone goes to http://mydomain.net/category/page1.html, I want him forwarded to http://mydomain.com/category/page1.html. Is that possible? In short, I dont want to update 2 sites simultaneously. Instead all the updates in mydomain.com should reflect at mydomain.net too.
The amount of people trying blackhat SEO and getting their fingers burnt is incredible. You could get a script to duplicate fresh changes to content from site A to site B. Don't bother asking me where. Google it. There's plenty of free stuff out there to do it. Don't be surprised if Google bury your other domain if you do this though Col
if your site is banned hw come you can you find your site in supplementary results dnt jump to a conclusion so quickly
First of all tell how u came to know ur site was banned by google? U have problem with supplement pages then try to change ur old content with some great quality content , change the title & description of that page. Build some quality backlinks no doubt ur site will be ok. If you decided to move from .com to .net then use "301 redirect" u can permantely redirect ur old pages to new site & never forget to write a robots.txt file for ur old site where u can block ur old pages.

Thanks for the inputs, guys. I am in the index but results are not anymore in the first few pages. Even if I search for mydomain.com, it shows results about my domain name from other sites only and not my actual domain. It even shows feeds to my site from feedburner in the first page itself but my actual site will be some 100th result or so. Thats why I feel there is some sort of a blocking somewhere. Anyway does anyone have any prior experience with Google re-inclusion? I mean do they atleast send a reply? For Adsense I always get replies in 48 hours but for re-inclusion, its over a week, still no contact.
What is your URL? If it still appears in Google's site: command, your site is still up, no bans happened.
If you redirect the .net to the .com than the only thing your doing is flagging .net with a penalty. Plus because you redirecting the .net to the .com your passing on it's value (which isn't much) to the.com and .net will be deindexed. If you redirect the .com to .net you'll deindex the .com pages and not pass on any value as the site is flagged therefore .net won't benefit from the redirect. Basically no matter how you do it your screwed. I suggest cleaning up ALL the blackhat SEO and write them and fess up to what you did and that you wont do it again. If you pretend you don't know what's going on than you wont get very far. This may also help. Straight from the horse's mouth: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/reinclusion-request-howto/
If ur site not doing well then it may have some problem, try to findout the problem & work on it. Try to change ur old content with some quality, & start linking building sooon with relevant & quality sites. no doubt u will be on top.
