Finally a Good news for all those webmasters !!

If you lost your PageRank and you are aware of the reason you lost your rank and you think you had solved the issue then the best way is to file a re-inclusion request with Google Webmaster Tool.

According to JohnMu, Its safe and best way to get your PageRank back. Someone from Google will manually visit your site and you will get all your rank back once he/she will find ur website ok.

According to Adsense post the data might be helpful in many ways including but not limited to:

  • Discover untapped markets. Use the geographies report to determine which regions are under-represented in your site’s user base. Optimize your site’s content to attract more of these under-represented users.
  • Drive high-earning traffic to your site. Use the ‘Referring sites’ report to determine where the users who are making you the most money are coming from. Focus your efforts on getting traffic from these sources.
  • Delve deeper into AdSense reports. Use the visualization feature to look at trends in your site’s AdSense performance over time, or by time of day.

Well now its possible for you to stop google from translating your pages in SERP’s.

You can now add, class=notranslate to any HTML element to prevent that element from being translated.
i.e It might be useful:

Email us at <span class=”notranslate”>sales at mydomain dot com</span>

To prevent entire page from getting translated simple use the below code between <head> and </head> of your page and Google won’t be able to translate the content of that page anymore. :

<meta name=”google” value=”notranslate”>

Note: Users may already be translating your webpage using Google Translate, but you can make it even easier by including our “Translate My Page” gadget, available at http://translate.google.com/translate_tools. (Like I had one on my blog).

More details can be seen at: Google Official Blog

Someone asked JohnMu about this issue at Google Groups, where JohnMu responded that the date was “frequently incorrect and not really that useful.”
