I know many people disappeared from Yahoo (& some from Google) within the past few months. And no one really knows the reason (or most of us don't). Some have switched hosting companies but kept their original domains.

Will Yahoo eventually forgive whatever transgressions occurred in the past? Do we ask for their forgiveness (even if we're not sure what happened) or do we just sit & wait?

Is it better to just start over with a fresh domain name (a lot of trouble with link partners, though)? I'm just wondering which would take longer; waiting it out to get back in the serps or starting over from scratch?

Send a message to the engines explaining in your words what you think may have happened and ask them to review the corrected situation. Then be patient and give it some months to see if they right the wrong you've suffered.

Everyone at my office who uses the same company which is actually a person has dropped to a zero page rank in google. Basically it is all the same website with dirfferent pictures for different agent sites. Sad, really.

I recently purchased a domain that had been deindexed at Google. I sent them a reinclusion request letting them know that I was the new owner (and that I had friends in low places JK!). Within a week the site was back in the index.

Cool. Glad to hear it worked for you. I have told them for 3 years they need to change to a real company. I told them about the zero PR, they're on their own now.

I dont think being de-indexed by a particular search engine is any reason to give up on a domain, especially if it still does well in others. If you are confident that you have taken the necessary steps to ensure you have a quality website (You dont need to know what the previous issue of the domain was) then there is no reason to think your domain will "never" get back into the index. Things like onpage transgretions are easily remedied, however things like 3 year old directory links are not so easily replaced.

See the sarasota MLS example mentioned previous, we did what we needed to do, and Yahoo eventually let the site back on their own - IMO it would have taken way longer (For all engines) to start from scratch

Sometimes, site after site will drop off of a search engine for no good reason, but you can usually get reincorporated if your techniques are good and your content fresh -- if nothing's changed in the algorithm, I guess. But sites tend to recover from drops like that.

After reviewing my small amount of knowledge, i've concluded that I would agree with the Admitistrator on this one. It would take far less effort to keep it, and relatively the same amount of time for both to be achieved (IMO).

My site was deindexed by google for 6 months and i thought about starting over too, but after my second reinclusion request, and cleaning up some things I got back in.
