Confirmed: recovery playbook after a blacklist wave nukes your domains
Woke up to dead landers? Triage in order:
— Confirm the kill source: Safe Browsing, an ad-network internal list, or a registrar takedown. Each needs a different fix.
— Flip live traffic to a pre-warmed backup domain immediately — minutes of downtime is pure lost spend.
— Submit clean domains for re-review with the lander showing ONLY the benign version.
— Burn, don't reuse, any domain that hit a malware list — it's poisoned across scanners.
— Audit how they caught you: same registrant? linked WHOIS? shared IP? Fix the footprint, not just the domain.
— confidence: high
