No more reinclusion requests!

posted in Google |

The famous Google Reinclusion request has been renamed Reconsideration Request perhaps to more accurately describe it’s purpose, which is no longer just for reincludding a site.

Adam Lasnik has said,

It’s a trust thing. We don’t accept completely anonymous reinclusion requests; everyone who submits a request does so now through our Webmaster Tools (when they’re logged in). Basically, there’s no harm in filling one out if you feel your site’s presence or ranking in
Google has been adjusted due to guideline violations… but, obviously, we probably wouldn’t be terribly amused or apt-to-re-include if we received such requests with annoying frequency (e.g., daily requests for 174 of your different sites). Common sense applies, and — thankfully — has reigned supreme in the area of reinclusion requests so far :)

Regards,
Adam

This name sounded familiar, and it was, because it was something I said on November 29, 2006.

For now I just suggest everyone link to www.reconsiderationrequest.com with the anchor text Reconsideration Request.

    It’s certainly a better name. A person may not be entirely excluded and still have a need to be reconsidered due to some marginal issue they’re causing the algorithm.
