good post jwc2349. Now I am feeling hopeful.

To recap here, this is what this guy did:

Put a 301 redirect from a mostly duplicate .co.uk site to the .com site (July)

Fixed the index.html and index.htm thing (September)

Removed the printer-friendly pages, which is a shame (September)

Removed the white papers from our partners. They set-up links to the
source (us).

Checked none of the titles on the web site were the same (some had
'standard' titles because a template page had been used).

Continued to add good content.

Submitted reinclusion request (10 days ago)

Penalty lifted (3 days ago)

Says reinclusion request was key. He opines: Be really
critical of your site. It looks like the penalty is applied by
algorithm, but lifted by humans.
