Google has provided a little bit more information on the Reconsideration Request process and the types of information that should be included in them. One wonders if Google is going to invest more manpower in reading and processing them, because this also seems to be a major difficulty for webmasters, but this seems like a genuine step toward a little more transparency in this process.
