Google’s Webmaster Chat – Reinclusion Request

Question:
After a reconsideration request, do you typically notify webmasters that the penalty has been lifted?

Answer: John Mueller
If you recognize that your ranking / indexing has improved, chances are that it has been accepted. if not, I would recommend posting in the Webmaster Help Groups.

In other words if there is a ranking you *think* should be better and isn’t – perhaps it is being (slightly and/or significantly?) manually demoted and you better do a re-inclusion request after fixing the problem. Not just *expect* it to be fixed by Google automatically.

At least something to think about.
