Hey CainIV,

Thanks for the answer,

I understand your comment about the content quality..

The thing is the first content that we erased (more than 500 000 pages) was in fact absolutely worthless yes.

What we wanted to do is ot save the domain (to keep the inbound links) but to replace the worthless content with new, (hand written) quality content.

What we are hoping is that eventually the SE's will see the new content on the old domain, and then remove the penalty.

Maybe it was a terrible mistake, as we should have published the new content on a another domain, of course we are thinking about that now ( moving the content to another site...)

What I'm wondering is how come Yahoo cannot just recrawl my site and consider the 410's, erase the ld pages and crawl the new ones...

PLease not I'm not talking about keeping my old rankings, just to have the new site crawled and indexed properly

Thanks

Oh and soapystar, sorry for the mistake in your name!
