How to file reconsideration request to Google
By Marina Ma, Search Quality TeamThere is one thing that webmasters want to see the least, which is the sudden drop of the number of pages indexed by Google. In other words, Google might have thousands of pages of your websites indexed in the past, but you cannot see any of them, or only can see one or two of them in the search results. There are many reasons for the sudden change of indexed pages of your site in the Google index. For more information please see Why does Google remove sites from the Google index?
If your site is violating Google webmaster guidelines, whether intentional or not, via yourself or an SEO service, then it is possible that your site has been penalized by Google. Under these circumstances, you should make the necessary changes so that your site no longer violates our Webmaster Guidelines and then file for a "reconsideration request".
If you are concerned about "malware software" labels, and want to have them removed, please refer to Malware reviews via Webmaster Tools.
As a webmaster, before filing a reconsideration request, you need to fix all problems. For detailed information on what would violate our guidelines, please read our webmaster guidelines, and More details about our webmaster guidelines.
Generally speaking, one of the things listed below might happen to your website.
1. Your website violates our Webmaster Guidelines.For some cases, an email will be sent from Google, telling the webmaster what the problem is. If you are using our Google webmaster tools, sometimes the penalty information should appear on your Message Center.
2. The SEO company that you are using might have done some optimization that violates our guidelines.
3. If you recently purchased a domain, it may have violated our guidelines before you owned it.
No matter what the problem is, you have to spend as much time as it requires to figure it out. Make sure that all violations are fixed or removed before filing for a reconsideration request. If you are new to Google Webmaster Tools, you can register using a Gmail or Google account and then verify your site. If you already are using our Google Webmaster Tools, the next steps will be very simple. Note: The only way that webmasters can communicate with Google to file a reconsideration request is through Google Webmaster Tools.
