A friend's site is penalized by Google, he thinks he put to much spam, does anybody knows this situation is definitivfor for Google or will the site appear again after a while.
Thanks for your help.

Get him to remove the spam (if it is real spam like hidden text, etc.) then hope that you get re-included. You could e-mail and ask for a re-inclusion request but don't hold your breath.

If your friend has suffered a hand removal the ban may last for a year or more...

Thanks sem4u
Is there a special way to get re-included do you know how. By the way, it was spam like hidden text so I think it's better to create a new site.
