Greenguy's Board - Reinclusion Requests

In the 950 thread there was discussion about the dangers of a reinclusion request.

Here's Matt Cutts blog post about it from 2005

One of the things we were wondering about was whether a reinclusion request would be harmful to a site because it would attract extra attention.

In a reply to one person's comments Matt says:

Quote:

If there’s an algorithmic reason why your site isn’t doing well, you can definitely still come back if you change the underlying cause. If a site has been manually reviewed and has been penalized, those penalties do time out eventually, but the time-out period can be very long. It doesn’t hurt your site to do a reinclusion request if you’re not sure what’s wrong or if you’ve checked carefully and can’t find anything wrong.

Just thought I'd post this.
