      One of my sites was hit after Google confirmed  its panda 3.2 update. The site ranked very well for many heavy traffic keywords in my niche. But all of a sudden, 80% of the keywords which ranked high in the previous dropped 50 in SERP. I know it is a -50 penalty , but i do not know how to recover from it.

      The link building campaign is almost the same as before and all of the articles are unique. BTW, i have two image ads on the sidebar and 7 affiliate links on the bottom of the page.

      Any input will be great appreciated !

        Without knowing the site it is impossible to tell you the issues or the time to recover. From what we see, it can take months even after you clean things up. Oddly, you state: The link building campaign is almost the same as before.

        You don't state that you have changed anything. If it were me and I had been penalized, I would certainly not leave anything close to the same. If you think you have changed it and are following the GWMT guidelines, submit your site for reconsideration and wait. It can take months to get it back.

        Otherwise, give us the url and we will all take a peek to see if we can assist.

        Good Luck
