    Hi,

    Around 6 months ago I used various link building schemes for one of my sites (DP, LV etc) and Google penalised me. I am doing much better in the rankings now after removing all link schemes and using only themed links but still not 100%.

    Is there anything else I can do to remove the penalites? Or will they expire with time? Or are some perm? Anyone who has been in my poistion your help\expertise is appreciared. :)

    Thanks

    How "bad" are you penalized? What SERP did you have before and what SERP do you have now?

    That's not a penalty. You probably lost some SERP because you removed coop and LV... nothing more.

    Your competitors are definitely working harder than you.

    I can tell you that on June 27th when most people disapeared from the SERPs and it was being blammed on coop and LV I came back from it without removing them so I highly doubt they caused the penalty.

    But I have no clue why all sites havent recovered from that. If even that is when you got slammed.

    Did you have coop and LV links on your site or did you point them at your site?

    Yes :(

    The reason I think this is because:

    1) We have 350 perm links, the no 1 to 8 have many less backlinks.

    2) We have been in the index (waybackmachine) since 2003...

    3) None of our "inner pages" do well in the SERPS, when many of our competitors do very well.

    I'm sure we should be still number 1 but a penalty is stopping us going to number 1 (we are number 1 on yahoo\msn) and it also stops our inner pages ranking well...

    Thanks for the thoughts so far... :)

    It's not so much the number as the quality

    You may have been penalized but then again, Google just might of had a shakeup. If there is anything wrong, you'll have to wait until the Gbots visit again and wait until their cache's of your pages are updated. Try google sitemaps if you have alot of inner pages, it'll make sure they are getting crawled and provide lots of other info.
