    possible (penalty) reasons:

    duplicate (or triplicate) content
    high keyword density
    linking to same site too much
    linking to off topic sites
    too many contentless pages

    Website not updated often and lack of fresh links makes google consider the page getting outdated. Not a "penalty" as in .. goodbye website from google though of course. But that topic is pretty much covered

    Your wasting your time in this thread Minstrel. Not only do these guys not know what the original question was -- what causes penalties, not how do you tell if penalized -- but they have no sense of humour either. Must be a little anal retentive on a Sunday morning.
