Hey, this is Matt and Emmy coming to you on Thursday after hockey at the Googleplex. Yes sure your a good cat. Let’s talk ah, I don’t know, reinclusion requests. So, I did a blog post about reinclusion requests awhile ago, um, the proceedure has changed a little bit though. So imagine if you spammed or some one you have hired as a webmaster has spammed, and you are now no longer in Google, what do you do now.
So, the best thing that I would recommend, is to, ah, register in sitemaps that’s our webmaster console or webmaster central, what ever you want to call it. And ah, it’s basically the place where you can get all kinds of information. Some times you can ever find out if you have penalties on your site. So we can’t show all the penalties that we have just because ah, you know, that will clue in malicious spammers as well. But if there are real, yes, legit sites that have ah, that hahaha Emmy hahaha, that have valid content, good girl, ah we want them to be able to be found so we can show penalties for some sites. Ah there you go.
So if you do have a penalty or if you suspect you might have a penalty, go ahead and go to ah, register in site maps and then fill out a reinclusion request. I think it is like at the bottom left or some think like that, and the more information you can give the better. So for example, ah if you were using a SEO or some body that ah, your website got hacked or what ever, you know, give as much specifics as you can. Ah you also want to give some kind of time line, or here’s what was going on, ah here’s the mistake we made.
The most important thing is Google needs to know that your, it’s not going to happen again. So some way of letting us know or convincing us that what ever you think the problem was, ah usually you might have a pretty clear idea, some thing like hidden test, doorway pages, sneaky redirects using Javascript, any thing like that. Um, we need to know that those pages, those violations of our quality guidelines are not going to come back.
So that’s the procedure I would go with, try to include as much detail as possible about how it might of happened, ah and what you are going to do it make sure it doesn’t happen again, and then that goes into a queue which we check and try to find out okay, ah has the hidden text been removed, stuff like that.
So um, reinclusion requests definitely get looked at by people and that is the procedure that I would recommend to use, ah to put one in.
