PR0 Toolbar of Death?

back to the drawing board?

[Jill]

Once a site (in this case every site on the domain) receives the white tool bar treatment and does not bounce back within oh 6 months, I take it that it's time to move the sites and start over? Or just completely start over? We did nothing with these sites to my knowledge that would have incurred this punishment, yet there we are. I just need to figure out what the next step is and I don't think it's waiting for Google to forgive us for whatever crime we supposedly committed...

Site could still come back (and has for someone on this board) but I wouldn't hold my breath. I've whined, whimpered, pleaded, begged and emailed for almost a year with no response from google.

If you didn't commit any "sin", then you were probably caught in a filter which googleguy admitted months ago might have been too stringent and caught some innocent sites.

No matter, the filter penalty hangs on and businesses fail for lack of visibility. I wish I could afford to start over.

Good luck!
