    Sheesh

    It happened to 2 of my websites

    Over optimization penalty

    I'll tell you what happened

    I had a site, lets call it "RedApples.com"

    Title Tag: Red Apples

    Title: Red Apples


    A few backlinks that said "Red Apples"

    I was #5 or 6 on Google right away for a while.... climbing......



    Thing is, I mentioned Red Apples too many times... not 100... but something like this:


    Red Apples are delicious. One of my favorite things about Red Apples is that I love their taste. If you would like to see photos of Red Apples, then click below on the Red Apples gallery.

    You get the point

    Thing is, I learned a lesson.... and luckily this was on "a less important" website I have... yet still important

    The lesson: 1) I didnt even need to keep mentioning Red Apples... with a domain name like that I could have mentioned it once and ranked #1..................... 2) Google doesnt like that and WILL slap you with a penalty


    Now the question is..... what should I do???


    I dont really want to fill out a "re consider request"



    Is it possible time will heal the site?????


    Thanks!

    change content, buld links resubmit sitemap (make sure sitemap says page has changed) you should be ok on the next crawl.
