Relisting after a Search Engine Ban

If the penalization or ban has been imposed by some automatic process it is normally a question of identifying the offending optimization, removing it and waiting for the pages to appear again in the results. This may take many months. More serious cases may require human intervention. The process is the same. Aggressive optimizations should be removed from the site and then the search engine operator contacted. Google <help@google.com> seems most responsive to these pleas.

In the worst cases the domain may simply have to be abandoned, the site moved elsewhere and the process of getting re-listed with search-engines, directories and other websites started over.
