 What Was Learned?

Doc began to study everything he could about Google delisting practices. He began by reading everything suggested by Google, including Google's Guidelines, Matt Cutt's Blog, and everything else on the internet regarding Google. Despite the fact that he had consulted with numerous others about his websites, which he maintained, he discovered that most "professionals" did not know much about Google, Google's Guidelines, delisting, or being reincluded in Google's index.

He determined what in his website offended Google. In this case, it was determined that it was probably invisible writing that violated Google's Guidelines. He decided to change his website, bring it into compliance with Google, and then request that Google reinclude his website in the Google index. He removed all invisible writing, reviewed and modified his links so that he was not linked to many other delisted websites, and reviewed and modified his meta tags. On April 20, 2006, he requested reinclusion in Google's index, and on April 25, 2006, his website was reincluded. He then proceeded to bring his other websites into compliance with Google's Guidelines.
