Google Penguin Update / Over Optimization Penalty, April 24th launch for real estate

Unfortunately noone really knows at this point Michael, this is brand new, and there is no concrete model for recovery - you reporting your findings is helpful though, so please post observations often (also mention what changes you did prior to the move). All data helps at this point.

Morgan, will i see alot of dance on page 49 where i currently rank? Is this normal or if i am moving up is it s a good thing? I started at page 61 but i been changing what i can and have moved up to 49 but it will bounce back a page or two then jump 6 or 7 and repeats everyday

I have change anchor text on the few blogs rolls I had if i got a hold of the person i exchanged with. I removed the site wide links in the footer to my other sites. I been creating with a few others on here some web 2.0 properties and posting fresh content on them so try to hit other keywords. this is a just a few things i can remember.

That is fantastic to see Mike - which domain? the Fort Worth LEC 6 or Nuhomesource?
Very encouraging that if you find the right links and change / remove them you can come back quickly.

the Fort Worth, i did it yesterday morning and when google came back to index it it jumped my ranking back up the page. Now i havent regain #1 yet but i am sitting at 4 for Fort Worth real Estate. then later in the evening i got my google site links back so i bet i take the number 1 spot back again in no time.

I am trying everything to get Google to come back and visit the San Antonio site but not having any luck. It has moved up everyday on it own but it is just bouncing all over the place.

There's a tool for that: Webmaster Tools : Diagnostics : Fetch as Googlebot : Submit to Index

I'm just getting caught up on all of this. I lost my mom last month and her sister last week and have been sort of out of touch. Having said that, it is nice to be back on page 1 - been over a year. I've moved up for just about every term I want to be found for and that amazes me.
