It seems like you really have a good strategy on avoiding penguin update. Actually, I’m already doing some of those techniques but still having a hard time configuring out all the bad links pointing to my site. Thanks for sharing this!

One thing to include also is what about links you have no control over? If they are spammy but you can’t take them down or do not know who it was that create some low quality content and placed your links in that article. I have had that happen to me at least 2-3x a week. It’s annoying and I can’t do anything about it because I can’t prevent who links to me!

Just hope those links do not keep G from bringing your site back on the SERPs.

If you’ve had one of those you need to take a close look at your backlink profile and you definitely need to take action including filing a reconsideration request. There may be more than just sitewide links dragging you down!

It’s just unfortunate that the Penguin algorithm update seems to target the same/similar tactics to the unnatural links notices – and that the two went out at a similar time.
