    Hi,

    One of my websites was penalized with Google. I am 100% sure that it is a manual penalty and not algorithm related (panda, penguin, etc).

    The site still has its original pagerank which is quite good (PR4). All the pages are still listed (site:www.mydomain.. returns results).

    But the site does not show up in google for any search keyword and before it used to very very well for 2-3 years.

    I read on the SEO blogs that manual penalties have expiration period (from 6 months to several years). Is this true? Should I just wait for the SEO to bounce back or I should do something?

    Thanks in Advance
