I dumped text link ads. I nofollowed paid links. I javascripted links that might be mistaken for paid links. I canceled my sponsored review accounts. I switched to a different method of monetization (Scratchback) that serves Google-friendly, nofollowed links. (And btw, Google, that put a huge dent in my revenue, just so you know). Finally, after I cleaned up everything that might possibly make you hate me, I filed a reconsideration request about 5 weeks ago.
And I did all that for...what? Did you give me my PR back? No, you did not. Did you even communicate with me to tell me that you still think I'm naughty for some unknown reason? No, you did not. You simply did nothing. Others knelt down to you and you promptly rewarded them by giving them their PR back. Why have I not been awarded the same mercy? Did I miss something? Did I fail to nofollow something that you felt should be nofollowed? Or do you just dislike SEO Scoop and want me to forever grovel in my pitiful PR-ness?
In all fairness, it really doesn't matter what PR SEO Scoop has. It is meaningless and valueless. Still, I can't help but feel as though I've been slighted or overlooked, whilst all the other poor souls who have begged forgiveness have been noticed and forgiven? Why not me? Just curious, Matt...

You see the cup as half-empty; I see the cup as half-full. You see the plugin as punishment; I see the plugin as reward. To each his own, I guess.
It’s not “The Plugin” Donna, it’s you. Subconsciously you already distance yourself from it. Just let go – and let the link-love flow : )
And be assured that my cup is nothing but full. I could even link to you from my blog. But as a true SEO professional you won’t be interested in a PR 0 link. Do you want my link love, Donna?
Not gonna engage in this little battle of yours, supaswag. You do things your way, I’ll do things my way. It’s all good.
And with that, I think this thread has run its course, so I’ll be turning comments off. Repeating what I said several days ago…
… I think we know all we need to know at this point. Matts made it pretty clear what the issues are, and what the steps to be taken are. We know what to be looking for if we dont hear back from a reconsideration requet. We know that if all else fails, that we should be seeking help at the webmaster help group.
So, I think we can wrap this up now. Thanks to everyone for the participation. It was very productive all round.
