It’s been 5 months since two of my website were murdered by Google. Can you believe after all this time, I still don’t have my rankings back? I’m starting to think that they will never come back. Perhaps the domains were blacklisted and won’t ever be the same. This would mean that I need to scratch the websites and rebuild the same content just on to a different domain.

For those of you not in the loop, my then two biggest websites were penalized by Google. They weren’t completed banned, but they were penalized big time. I lost all my big keywords and went from getting a ton of Google traffic to now very little. I never found out the exact reasons for the penalty. I speculated it could have been using TLA on the websites, or even linking to ba neighborhood sites.

I took the necessary steps for reinclusion many months ago and have just been patiently waiting. I’m getting tired of waiting though.

I remember those days before the penalty was put on me. I was on my way to making $xxx a day easy. I was excited, motivated and have a lot of fun doing this. Since the penalty, my earnings have slowly dropped every month and I feel completely helpless. I’ve lost motivation and it’s not always fun for me.

I’ll keep working at it though. Keep staying patient in hopes some day soon Google will restore my rankings.
