I've had a site that I've had turned off for the last year or two, and I restored it from database and switched it back on recently.I've placed it on the same domain where it was, on a new server with all the content it used to have.It's a Q/A answer style site (similar to StackExchange) so it had a lot of content and a lot of internal pages.The site used to get a significant amount of SEO traffic (about 80% of it's traffic used to come from organic), I'm wondering if Google is likely to put a red flag on my site since it may look strange that it's gone from being down to all of a sudden having ~3000 internal pages.Am I likely to get black-listed? Is there anything I can do to ensure that I don't and to ensure that I'm not penalized (and that hopefully my Google rankings are restored in as short a time-frame as possible to what they previously were)?Thanks in advance.
Bringing a site back online (with about 3000 internal pages) after two years?

I had a site for a community organization that was down for about six months due to hosting issues.  When I brought it back up, it was almost like starting with a fresh website from an SEO perspective.    It didn't rank as well as it had for the organization's name.  Google wasn't sending much long tail traffic to it.     Once the site had been up for a few months, Google seemed to start trusting it again.  It regained its old rankings.The only things that I can think of for you to do to speed the process are:Demonstrate that the site is now reliable by keeping it upShow that the site is growing by getting new content flowing in againShow that the site is popular again by asking for some inbound links (especially places that used to link to the site but which might have taken the links down while the site was down)
