Google now email after a reconsideration request is sent

Google have just announced that they are now informing webmasters by email, when a “reconsideration request” has been received. Webmasters who apply for a website to be reconsidered for indexing will at least now know if the request has been acted upon.

A webmaster would submit a website for reconsideration if that website had been previously removed from search engine results pages.

It appears to be a generic email that simply informs the webmasters or SEO executive that the submission was received and will be reconsidered. When Google reconsiders a website for submission it doesn’t mean it WILL be re-indexed. Google will check the website against its guidelines and if it passes, it could reappear in search results.

At 4Ps Marketing we haven’t had to resubmit any websites for reconsideration for our clients BUT we have had to do this for;

a) New clients that had their site banned by Google
b) New clients that had their site banned by Google due to bad advice from other SEO agencies

Care & attention is needed when writing a reconsideration & if you do find yourself in this unfortunate position then please contact us for assistance.

However this is great to see that Google are really starting to listen to feedback from fellow SEO enthusiasts & webmasters.
