Ever bought a domain that was banned in google

[evildick]

Anyone ever have this happen? I bought a domain and built a little niche free site on it with the intention of getting a little search engine and link list traffic to it.

It's been up for months and it was still PR0, and I couldn't figure out why. Was even listed at some of the big linklists.

So just for shits and giggles I checked the domain at archive.org and much to my disappointment I see that the domain was previously used for search engine spamming.

I searched all over google to see if there was something I could do, and I stumbled across a page where you could ask for a domain to be reviewed to be reincluded in their index.

So I filled it out, got an autoresponder from google, and now patiently I wait. Anyone ever done this successfully before? Or once a domain is banned is it gone for good?
