Now google is going to change its algorithm and serp result that's why a long time ago and google can't updates pr of any site.
Is this URL even trustworthy? I run a test with a website that's perfectly positioned for competitive terms, and it's reporting there's a penalty.
HAHAHA I used that site to chack "www.google.se" which is the Swedish verision of google. It said: "This domain has a severe penalty." I lol'd.
I think you had over optimized your website for targeted key terms. That's why Google had placed such kind of penalty on your website
Its true that Anyone should read old thread first to find their solution. I think, every problem have their solution posted in DP . Does this means that no one will ask new Question and make this forum inactive ? I think It will affect the revenue of DP too ? So, If some newbee ask such question, then just give a link to related post which can solve his problem... am I wrong ?
Firstly, you should find out the cause of this problem and then search the solution. Every causes has own solution. http://www.ksl-consulting.co.uk/google_penalty.html can help you
First of all, the penalty checker doesn't work. I tried it on a variety of sites, with mixed results. Secondly, you need to check for duplicate content, which is one of the many reasons for these kinds of penalties. Running your site though CopyScape caught some duplicate content. Finally, if you REALLY want to know what's wrong with any site, get on Google's webmaster forum. You will probably get an answer from a moderator within 48 hours. (Things may have changed since the last time I had to ask a question there.)
one of my site got -30 penalty, its working on site:mysite.com, but not indexing new pages, i also got a message in my webmasters tool account, that your said site have some bad links, you need to remove them and then lets us know that we start indexing your site. I removed those pages which were i think bad, applied for reconsideration, now waiting for response. Lets see how much time it takes.
http://tools.seomoves.org/penaltychecker/ does nothing but checkes the index or cache results. I would suggest to analyze your competitors. This is not a ban but some of your SEO methods might have back fired
