I bought a domain almost a month back and started working on it. Adding content, building backlinks, you know normal stuff.

Interestingly enough, the website is ranking no. 2 on Yahoo for its keyword  but as of today, it is not indexed in Google. I checked the backlinks using the yahoo tool and saw that some of the links were built over a year ago.

I am guessing the past owner of the domain did some really nasty stuff on this domain and now Google has deindexed it, which means I won’t ever get any traffic from Google.

Luckily, Google thought of this situation before and already created a solution for this.

I just had to log on to my Google webmasters account. Add the website in my account. And then send the website for re-consideration.  I explained them what happened.

Someone from Google will look into this and hopefully put my site back in the Search Engines. But it will take several weeks for them to reply. :(

Let’s see how this works out.
