I think i may have been hit with a anchor text penaly. All my rankings dropped out of the top 40 and havnt recovered in over 4 weeks.

Lets say if i start to vary my anchor texts will these keywords recover? Or should i just start again with new sites?

    Do you mean create new sites and start again that way?

    Or backlink the old sites with varied anchor text?

    Yep what Mike said, keep adding content to your site and start building new anchor text links using different keywords...

    Rotate your anchor text with secondary keywords. I build around 30% backlinks with secondary keywords.

      The first thing to be doing is focus on removing the excessive usage of the exact keyword anchor text. It is better to go easy on the linking at least until the penalty gets removed.

    I think anchor text will be same as your title keyword.

    Stop to make spamming and try to submit unique content in each posting. I sure that you will recover your ranking.
