    I that is quite for sure what you have been penalized. You are doing over-optimizations, and from what i have read they will penalize you.

    Remember one thing if your page content internal link of your own site and no content spamming then you have no need to be worried. Some time your internal page link improve content spamming.

    An easy way to avoid that in the future is to avoid a list of links in your sidebar and to do all of your internal linking as contextual links in your content.

    Listing internal links is not a penguin penality issue. First of all, there is no such official confirmation of penguin penality.

    Of course it is not a problem. That is like not to have a sitewide link to your home page.
    The entire penguin update is a joke... not for google of course - they are sucking money and future share cost increase out from it.
    Wonder if it will work out along with the current crappy results?!

    Google counts internal site wide links for keyword density (or only content)...i added blog archive for my livetvchannelsfree.tv blog. it increases my keyword density. It creates any problem for me in google search engine...

    google does not count internal links.

    after penguin, even one single anchor text links is a disaster.

    Internal links, so long as they are not spammy or keyword stuffing, will not hurt you. In fact, it does the complete opposite! Every page that points to the home page will add authority to it, assuming there are outbound links on it.

    Look at a site like Wikipedia. They have a ton of internal links, and are highly successful!

    What king of penalty is penguin applying to your site, nobody knows as such. May be it would be because of the poor content of keyword stuffing. Only Google knows better.

    Probably you got hit because of your content quality. Make sure the links are contextual and the content is unique,then do a resubmit of your sitemap to the google webmaster then ping the sitemap URL.

    Google Penguin is all about Black Hat SEO. Please check your website SEO Score. And before applying any trick and must to aware about Google Penguin. Don't do Keyword Stuffing in the website and add copy content.

    What kind of backlinking have you been doing recently sarpras?

    EDIT: I checked. 7. 7 backlinks in the past 30 days.

    So, his drop has nothing to do with backlinks...

    ...And yet another piece of evidence goes in the record defending the fact that Penguin was not about backlinking but about site quality.

    I saw a site a few days ago with PR3 and 0 domain age with 2 posts and now it's at PR0.

    Backlinks are not the main focus of the latest update but instead it's about what kind of quality your site site is that you're building backlinks to.
