We've processed your reconsideration request for http://zzzzxxxyyy.info/

I have more than 40 micro niche sites, some of them .com, while others .info and even .co.cc.

I was doing heavy backlinking with Paul's booklets, but one day big G considered I was spamming and de-indexed all my .info sites at once, without any warning.

All the *.com and *.co.cc were not touched!

I went for reconsideration to Google Webmasters and after several weeks they answer the following for each of the sites:

"We received a request from a site owner to reconsider how we index the following site: hxxp://zzzzxxxyyy.info/.
We've now reviewed your site. When we review a site, we check to see if it's in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines. If we don't find any problems, we'll reconsider our indexing of your site. If your site still doesn't appear in our search results, check our Help Center for steps you can take."


What does that mean: Yes, No, Maybe, None of the above????



Help, please

    It means that they received the request and they will review it manually and if it is just a "thin affiliate site" with no useful content on it or violates their TOS in any other way, they will not reindex. You will just have to check to see if they do reindex eventually, but they may not. I don't think that they give you an email back to tell you that they aren't going to, but maybe they do. Maybe someone who has had this problem can tell you that.

      At one point I had 15+ .info sites, all niche sites that were doing well. Woke up one day about 2 years ago, and all the sites were gone. I've never even considered .info again.

    I can't wait forever!
    Best thing I can do is to forget about the de-indexed sites and build them over .org/net/com domains this time.
    I am not buying .info again in my life!
    Or am I wrong?

    The problem isn't .info sites.

    The problem is tha you're putting crap all over the web that has no use for visitors.

    Google cant stop you putting it pu.

    They *CAN* stop it from showing up in the search results.

    If you're trying to "game" the SEs... well, they don't look kindly on that sort of thing.

    Ben, my guess is that your "heavy backlinking" probably resulted in spam complaints from one or more site owners. .info domains already have a shady reputation due to the number of spam blogs and flogs that use them.

    Spammers of various flavors latch onto .info domains for the same reason most IM types do - they cost about 1/5 of what a .com, etc. does.

    Yep ... info domains have a very bad rep with Google. Favorite spammer domain because they are cheap. But Google is cracking down on "thin affiliate sites" no matter what domain is used. You need to build sites with good content that the readers will find something useful. It will benefit you in the long run to do so.

    The content of my sites is above average this days, blame it to the number of my sites I included in each of the "My signature" in the mentioned Forums.
