Does redirecting a penalized link to new link recovers from penalty?

great post
A backlink cleanup is never a bad idea. The idea to 404 pages with unnatural links is a good one. That’s a surefire way to make sure you’ve gotten all of the unnatural links pointing to those pages. As you found out, 301s can be dangerous if you’re potentially dealing with unnatural links because you’re passing the unnatural link signals to the new site along with the 301.

Google penalty can wreck havoc on an online business. I remember one of my friends had a let go of 80% of his employees after his site received penguin penalty. I am still learning about panda and penguin updates even they were released years ago.

I’m assuming that’s the car client I think it was back in the day. Thinking back, I do remember a bit of moaning going on about those exact issues and it being one thing after another. 😛

Love the articles like these, explaining a concept through a real world situation. But behind this success and many others around the world lie a careful evaluation of the strategy on a regular basis and taking corrective measures.

Nothing to say but your story is very inspiring – it’s good to read stories about businesses recovering from Google penalties. My website was once struck by one of the updates, thanks to unscrupulous links made by some guys in Pakistan.

Anyway, I learned a lot from the story, particularly on the technical and job-related aspects. Though the initial drop in traffic wasn’t that significant, it will be in the long run.
