  • Yeah it looks like anchor diversity and getting links from relevant sites are two of the most important things to do moving forward based on the results in the post!

    For far too long, SEOers have gotten away with being very greedy and having very little anchor text diversity.

    • Nice find. This might not be 100% of the factors that get your site hit but looks definitely like the big ones.

      Good to see the community getting this solved so quick.

      Now back to business.
  • the question is, if you've been dinged but dont have a webmaster tools warning, can you recover? Or is it permanent like a lot of panda sites that got nailed

    • I think the penalty will last as long as your still have the links that are causing the problems.

  • wipe out the links that are causing the problem to get you out of the problem

    • The problem is you have no control if other people who you don't know sent a back link to your website with out knowing it or if someone intentionally sent bad links to your sites.
  • We can only find out more by analyzing the changes after consecutive Penguin Refreshes. In theory, if you dilute your anchor text distribution and market your site better in order to get branding links, or naked links you can counterbalance the effect of the spammy links. But you won't be able to see if that works until a new update comes along that takes into account these changes..

    So, I guess only time will tell...

  • People worry too much about penguins, pandas, koala bears and so forth. Write good content, don't over-optimize and do proper backlinking. Nuff said.
