Google Re-inclusion Request Notification

One of the nightmares for any website owner is to find that their site has been removed from Google’s search results or they have been heavily penalised. When this happens it means that they have most likely strayed from the Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.

The method for reinclusion is the same as it has always been, fix your site to make sure that it complies with the Google’s guidelines. However, now you will receive an email notification saying that they will review your website.

Subject: We’ve processed your reconsideration request for [example.com]

We received a request from a site owner to reconsider how we index the following site: [example.com].

We’ve now reviewed your site. When we review a site, we check to see if it’s in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines. If we don’t find any problems, we’ll reconsider our indexing of your site. If your site still doesn’t appear in our search results, check our Help Center for steps you can take.

This is might not seem significant change to their policy, but before you did not receive anything. You had to hope for the best. At least this is an acknowledgement that they will actually look at your site and review it.
