casino1784 asked 4 years agoI confess: Back in 2007 I was part of the Blackhat scene and we stole some content (whole websites) from new adwords domains, which were not indexed in yahoo and msn. Then we set up new domains with this content and automatically spammed guestbooks to get links & index our site before the owner could do it and got some msn-unique and yahoo-unique sites including top positions for yahoo and msn (How evil isn’t it ? :wink-wink). This worked quite well at the beginning, but after a while I realized that whitehat would be work out better (to get the traffic from google) and I left the blackhat behind, to make me a more stable income. (I am honest here, and I hope you appreciate it, instead of saying how bad I am :wink-wink. It’s all part of the game…)
Now I have one domain, which is in top positions for msn and yahoo, but zero traffic from google. After rewriting the whole content which took me 2 days about 4 month before, slightly there came some google traffic, but then suddenly this traffic went away, so the site is still in a google filter.
So now, is there anyone here who did blackhat & casino sites or is still doing this and has experience what I can try to get it into google? The content is completely unique now + the linking looks good (no spammy links any more in the google index for this site)…
Could it be an option to set up a new domain, then setting up the content on the new domain and redirect the old domain to the new one? Any ideas??
Cheers, Matt

Have you tried a Reinclusion request for your site? Of course a reinclusion will only work if you have removed all your blackhat tricks from the domain.
Just send the request, fess up to the old blackhat ways and let them know that you’ve changed your ways, that you’ll never go back, and that the site is now free and clear of any blackhat tricks. Someone from the Spam team will visit and if they don’t see any blackhat tricks going on they’ll lift the ban on the domain.
I’ve done this a few times now for some pretty big sites and it’s never failed. Google is pretty good about letting domains/sites back into the index that has reformed their ways.
Of course you could always blame that SEO guy you hired a few years back. :wink-wink
If you want some help wording the reinclusion request just PM me and I’ll be happy to help.
