(OUCH!) I didn't have the backup plugin so all my posts were gone, I wanted to cry. Once I re-instated my hosting, I apparently lost my Pagerank and some or most of my pages were de-indexed. I didn't even fathom contacting google because I know they have 'bigger fish to fry' so to speak and I would be wishing upon a star to get my pagerank bank especially since it's something that gradually happens over time and nothing that google could "Push A button" and make happen. The very first plugin I install now is the WP backup, I think in the next WP release it should be part of the base plugins for your blog, it's very pratical and I wouldn't dare putting posts on a blog or even spend 5 minutes on a blog that doesn't have the capability to backup the database. This was a very valuable lesson learned the hard way, Don't let it happen to YOU! set your renewal on auto renewal so you can avoid this extreme head ache, and money loss in my circumstance.

I've had a couple other people ask why I bothered with the request too, and I know it will come back eventually, but I figured it sure couldn't hurt, and I thought it might actually help. Apparently not though. ;( Update – Been over 48 hours now, and although the index page was re cached within minutes, not of the other pages are yet, and of course, I’m still a PR zero.

No luck yet though, so I'll have to see what happens. Thanks for the reply, John – Since I didn’t have a cache date newer than a month, I thought perhaps I could speed it along with my request.

In a case like that, we'll generally just reindex the URLs as we recrawl them, there's no real way to speed that up. Cheers, John Hi Scott, you generally don’t need to submit a reconsideration request if there was a technical issue on your side (and not a webspam-issue that you resolved).

Cheers,
