Very interesting thing happened.I got back my rankings

12 years ago

I would not be so surprised, maybe after one month, if rankings remains the same, then it means it is permanent, but if it is on #1 for one day, the next day it can be on #56

Thanks

I'm very surprised.
Have you experienced this also?

Everyday I check my stats I hope for this too, but it never comes. This gives me some hope.

Did you do anything to this site to trigger the resurrection?

Thanks

I just reduced the keyword density on the homepage and got rid of some bad content a few days after the penguin. Nothing changed then. I haven't touched the site for nearly 2 months.

Looks like your site passed through whatever threshold Penguin uses to determine penalties. Good work

Thanks

The site I really hated to lose is slowly creeping back in the rankings. Not the first page, but forward movement. I have removed a lot of the links I thought most likely are a problem and did a little more internal linking. I've been wondering if the penalty was human, or automatic.

I dont think anyone can take credit for recovering their rankings unless they have proven beyond doubt that they have implemented a system for doing so. Im yet to see any evidence of this.

Making changes here and there on your site and your rankings returning is most likely purely coincidental.

There have been algorithmic updates though, which is probably what it is.

Thanks

I've helped quite a few clients, through consulting and services, rebound from Penguin.

Most sites that were crushed are making critical and blatant errors in regards to their onsite variables, and linkbuilding strategy.

As you mentioned, Penguin was an algorithmic update, which means that as long as you correct the issues, you'll be able to recover the next time they run Penguin.
