Hey guys, I am the owner of a new website, EnlightenLists.com (still under construction, so please overlook weird design issues). We create lists of various topics, and we have decided to publish a top ten list of how Google Penguin has impacted the Internet, whether it be good or bad. We are looking for 10 ways, and we are not fully knowledgeable on this subject, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Why don't you go and find threads by those who got affected by it and see what sites got hit Vig? Can't say I have any first hand expereince other than I gained a client who got hit by the updates and his site is now pretty much saved from it's losses/disappearance from ranks bar one or two important search terms he lost that will take a little time more but only due to being one word search terms and other factors also involved..
It's hit many big IM'ers hard, Payday loans and pharmaceutical terms have been cleaned up almost unrecognizably since Penguin 2.0. I'm sure the IM'ers affected wouldn't agree with me but I personally think this is a great move by G - they're putting additional efforts into cleaning up the most openly abused niches/search terms.

Yes, but that also trickles down to smaller niches like mine. Still am going up/down with Google. It is unsure about my sites =/ I'll add some more content and hope for the best!
