I will keep this brief! 0 Pageranks and site penalties are used on a site by Google
if they link to "bad neighbourhoods" - but what happens if the Webmaster does this without knowing the full dangers and then, once aware of dangers, removes the dodgy links? Currently there is no response from Google to repeated requests on restoring a sites rank to "normal". Despite many, many e-mails people never get a reply. Personally I've had 2 sites restored but 5 of my sites are still affected despite the fact they are so clean they squeak! As it's over 6 months since this happened, does Google plan on lifting such penalties completely soon? Or at least giving some time to such questions via E-mail to people?
