GoogleGuy,

My domain has been banned for well over a year with no possible explanation except that it was once owned by a company selling in a completely different topic area (same keyword; means two completely different things... the keyword is present in domain name and our company name).

We've never used artificial link popularity, hidden text, cloaking or used any other method of SEO other than just stating what we sell and taking orders. We have built up hundreds of voluntary free links over the last couple years.

I've always figured our banning had to do with the prior owner of the domain. Will this change give me a clean slate and a new chance to be listed?
