What I did for Google Unban!

by Sebastin on October 1, 2008

When I created mooDump I created it as a Wiki+Video+image Search site and was thinking of promoting it via torrent sites and it worked flawless the site got indexed fast and within a couple of days I started getting a hell loads of organic traffic from google but Google being Google they banned me and took me completly off their index.

So this is what I did to get my site unbanned from Google:

- Changed my site to a blog with WP
- Made some posts which made sense
- Created a Sitemap with a WP plugin
- Submitted the site to Google Webmaster central and added the sitemap
- Added some adsense ads to the site
- Finally submittet a Reconsideration request through GWC

I got a messageĀ  in GWC in a coouple of days saying it being reviewed but usually it takes a couple of months for the site to get added back to the index but somehow mooDump got added in 4 days after submitting the reconfideration request.

I am still wondering how exactly it happened but still. I am happy that it did.
