Hy, it's my first time here.
I need to know, if possible, how to get back in google after a penalization (maybe hijacking).
On past 26 december my site (.com domain) goes out of google.
Reading on the web and here, I can justify this because this .com domain was a parked domain of the .it.
Now with site:www.domain.com the site doesn't exist and the PR is grey.
Instead, the .it domain has all the links and the same PR of the .com?
My site is banned? I got an url canonicalization?
The canonicalization is a ban?...how to get the .com domain in google? Do i need to make a reinclusion request or what?
Thank you and hope in your helpful...

Welcome to the forum giomx.

You mention three different things -- banning, hijacking, and canonical problems. They are different.

Do I understand your problem correctly: the same content is avaliable from both a .it and a .com domain? If so, then in my opinion, you should choose just the one domain that you prefer and have the other domain redirect permanenty (301) to your prefered domain. Work to have only one url for any one page -- never more. This resolves the canonical problem, eventually.

So if you want the .com version to be in the Google index -- then when any user agent (including googlebot) requests the .it url, it should be served a 301 redirect to the .com url

Hi Tedster, thanks for your welcome and answer!
Sorry for my english, I'm italian.
The problem is that my .com domain was already out from google index (two weeks ago), because before it was a parked domain (maybe a stupid redirect 302 by server from hoster) on the .it (with same contents!).
Now I make two different websites for .com and .it, but the .com is already banned (or canonicalized?!?).
Now I only have the .it domain with PR as .com (which I worked for before... :-( ) and all links to .com (now not present for site:www.doamin.com and PR suspended).
I need to get back the .com in the google index.
Do I need to make a reinclusion request for the .com domain?

And what happened to the .com domain? was banned or what?
For me google take the .it as the main domain because find same contents and hijacking too. Is it correct?
Very thanks Tedster...

If you now have two different websites and the 302 redirect is removed, then you are on your way. It can take a lot longer than two weeks for any new site to be included in Google results -- and it sounds like Google was just making a choice on which url to include when the content was the same on both. It doesn't sound like a penalty or ban to me.

Also, it's common for a new domain to show up for a week or so and then disappear because of the frequently discussed "sandbox effect".

Just work on the new domain, I'd say, both content and links. Watch for googlebot to be sure you're getting crawled and then give Google a good site when the spiders comes for a visit. I would not assume your domain has been banned at this point.

However, the only one who knows for sure is Google -- so write to them if you want to. I prefer not to draw too much attention to a site unless I am sure there is a problem that I can't fix without their help.
