I’ve got a google penalty, and I am not sure how to get rid of it. I have a site that picked up too many links to quickly. What happened was I linked from site A to site B. Site B was only about a month old and already ranked #5 for its keywords. The problem was that the post on site A went viral and I ended up picking up a bunch of backlinks. On top of that a lot of sites copied my source and posted my blog post from site A with the link to Site B. Within a few days Site B dropped off the SERPS completely. The site is still indexed and gets good traffic from yahoo and google images, but I get no google search traffic.
What do I do? I’ve deleted the original link from Site A a few weeks back, but I still have those backlinks from the other sites that reproduced my content.
I have seen other sites that have the same penalty. One of them is mygreencorner. com.
If you google mygreencorner the site does not come to the top. Only sites linking to my
mygreencorner show up. The same thing is happening to my site. What can I do?

I've had a similar thing before and sort of got used to it.
I may be totally of the mark here but I would just sweat it out, ignore it and carry with my link building at the same velocity as before. As I say I may be wrong but that's my inclination.

Yeah, I could wait, but it was a great little niche' and I hate that I am loosing all that search traffic. The .info version of this niche is still open, so I might just pick it up and develop that site. That way when the penalty is lifted I could have both sites in the top 5 serp.
Would y'all do a google request to remove the penalty?

I did one before when I lost rankings and don't know if it did any good but I don't know whether you'd call it a penalty or a tripped filter. We need someone like Tim Nash about really, he seems to know his stuff on penalties and complicated bits. (maybe that'll bring him back for a swift visit  ) |

I personally doubt that it's a penalty. You *may* have tripped a filter but not a penalty.
Also may be coincidence. The site was only a month old and it's not uncommon at all for a newer site to have a "honeymoon" where it ranks well then falls off the map. Actually, it's common. I'd not sweat it and continue what you'd normally do.
On one of my directories, I threw a few thousand links at it in about a week. Ranked fine for a while then dropped off the planet, now ranking fine again. Had nothing to do with the links as far as I could tell. Just a new site.

I had a similar problem before bro.. I guess, too much quality links is bad too.. I think google perceives that too much links, even though it is a quality link, it is considered spam. Maybe thats why they dish out penalties like that. |

I am dealing often with penalized sites and I am very successful with that. Can you tell which site are you talking about?

David two questions:
- Is this the date the domain have been created? 2008-05-08?
- Are there any other pages on the site except of the homepage? If yes, are you linking to those pages from the homepage?

Site is not banned or penalized. That is sure!!! Searching the domain in Google it comes first. Making a search with the "site:" operator Google returns the homepage, then a page called wp-login.php and a page wp-login.php?action=lostpassword. The last two pages have no content. On the homepage you have in several places Google adsence.
To resume:
1. Your site is a pure MFA (Made-For-Adsense) site.
2. The domain and site are brand new, and it is normal for new sites to rank high for a short time until Google will check all details they need to rank you where you belong too. In SEO slang we call that "Honey moon"
I still did not look deeper, but I assume you have 30 other domains. Do you use the same page too? Just curious.

I agree, this is just flux or a overactive filter... But consider this, removing the link and changing your current efforts will only bring less than good attention from Google.
When you removed the link, which Google knows to be hot.... You actually increased the flux and turmoil for your site. 99% of the time, sit and wait is the answer for like 3 months before you change a thing. Google has become so very sensitive to linking changes, that pulling a link out causes a good bit of flux and concern for any website... add that to a few content changes on the same page and you're screwed... Have a beer and wait =-)
