Hello,

I think you’ve made a good point about how I should have asked you to remove the keyword spamming prior to reporting it to Google. I do apologize for that.

If you don’t already know, here is the way to get your site reincluded. It will take a few days. Only do the request once you are sure that you have cleaned your site of all promotion tactics that are against their webmaster guidelines.

However, 1) I still think that you should focus on parts of your business that are actually worthwhile and not enforcing a trademark that is already used on approximately 68,200 websites including Google, Microsoft, Oracle, MySQL(AB), Western Michigan University, University of Toronto, the list goes on and on including my favorite: Myevents. I linked to pages that contain myevents or where myevents is in the URL.

The trademark on MyEvents is only useful if people know that brand. Do they? Not according to Google trends.

2) The correspondences that I received showed that your employees (or you) have been “harassing” other people for use of the words and phrases that may be within their legal rights. People have spent money on their own lawyers in response to what were apparently repeated inquiries from you. I’m not sure that what you are doing is really quite as kind and gentle as you describe it.

Best regards and I hope you accept my apology.

Greg
