Google's Over Optimization Penalty Real?

Does anyone have solid proof of the so-called Over Optimization Penalty?

And

What would trigger this penalty?

 

Probably just means google considers you "trying to build links purposefully for Page Rank" or just thinks your backlinks are fake.

 

I imagine anything that doesn't look natural, that could mean many things, but all webmasters understand if they are over doing it a bit.

 

No, I am sceptic about it . If you are optimizing it with natural way , it's not getting affected.

 

the only way to over optimize is onpage, and G will ignore stuffing etc nowadays. Off page is not optmization, it's trying to get links to out things in your favor and is covered by their link policies.

 

It is real to some extend.
Depending on what exactly happen to your site.
For example, if your site stopped advancing in SERPs for certain keywords despite more links being added, in short to many BL with same anchor text. Fast solution- adjusting anchor text ratio. Slow solution- do nothing, in time, your site will eventually start moving up again.

 

What do you mean by over optimization?
Yes, they do exists. Like huge keyword density, ferocious link building etc.

 

yes i agree with u thanks ...

 

I think its only when you go too hard trying to build links, especially doing 100s of links when the site is very new.

 

I havent had that problem, i think some my website are taking forever to index faster

 

lots of back links in few days would be penalized your web

 

I would say more than 5% keyword density could do it, or hidden text, etc.

 

when you flowly make backlinks by one anchor text AND when google found that you are doing unnaturally.
