SERP Experience After You Resubmit Your Site to Google

[impressem]

Hello Everyone,

We suddenly noticed that our keywords fell off the map and discovered that porn had been placed (via.htaccess redirects and masking) on our site.

The porn links caused Google to drop us.We scrubbed our .htaccess file and asked Google to reindex our site 3 weeks ago.Does anyone have experience with reindexing?If so, how long were you down and did your keyword positions return eventually?Thanks,Bob

Yes it does, but if a manual action is taken against your site, you will need to ask for reconsideration.

you can do that in WMT. That takes about 3 weeks.

Here's the information about how to file a reconsideration request with Google and let them know that you were hacked but you fixed it.
