I wouldnt worry unless you are currently breaking some rules.. I just went through a reconsideration request with google for one of mine recently, and it had the affiliate site, but no textual content at all.. fresh out of the gate.. and they passed it no problem, from the moment I made the request, 19 days later it was indexed, and I got a message in my webmaster tools letting me know.
Yahoo on the other hand are a real piece of work, those guys keep refusing it.. Ive submitted several times, and instead of addressing my question of why they leave it banned, they simply send me an email about the refusal, and post a link to yahoo’s content quality guidelines.. something tells me someone in yahoo’s review team lost their shirt in vegas… cause I feel the prejudice.
