Google's 950 Penalty

[Halfdeck]

You really think filing a reinclusion request could help in a case like this?

Bill, saying re-inclusion is an option for penalized sites is not the same as saying I recommend filing a re-inclusion request.

Many adult sites, including some I own, are low value, disposable surfer-traps. But Ms. Naughty's blog? I see no reason not to file a reinclusion request for a quality sex blog if her blog is really penalized.

...that as soon as a google worker sees that reinclusion request for an adult site like ours, he's going to either ignore it completely, or assume that a reinclusion request wouldn't be filed unless there was something sneaky going on, and start looking for something to penalize the site for.

Unless you're guilty of spammy tactics, there's nothing to worry about.

I've emailed Adam Lasnik asking him to take a look at one of my sites. He emailed me back, saying there's no penalty applied.

You think Adam doesn't occasionally surf porn? Even Matt Cutts, the head of Google's Spam Team, regards Link O Rama, Persian Kitty, and The Hun as "quality porn sites." Not all adult sites offer value - but that goes without saying for any niche, adult or mainstream.
