Hi All

I recently bought a domain name and have since found out that it's on several SPAM blacklists. This is nothing to do with me and is obviously something that the previous owner had done. Is it possible to get the domain name removed from blacklists now that it's registered under a new owner?

Ouch, How did you find out it was blacklisted? The only thing I can think of is to get backlinks to this domain with "completely new content" and see what happens. If search engines like G are as good as most of us think, the bots should recognize the differences beyond the IP and eventually index it. Also keep in mind that it would then be considered a "new site" and G would sandbox it for a while.
