How to recover from penguin hit for my site http://rndegrees.net

[HQP]

My site http://rndegrees.net hit by penguin and after that I worked on cloud tag and one duplicate page content which was present on my site, also I worked on back links though my site hasn't recovered yet. Please guide me if I missed on something to recover from penguin hit.

Hard to see whats wrong with it, you have a good DA and PA. What keywords are you targeting? I noticed the keyword "nursing" appears 50 times on our homepage. Not sure if that would do it, but Google might be considering that to be over optimizing on a keyword.

For me also it is hard to find what is wrong with the site. Mainly I am targeting online nursing degree and online nursing programs etc. keywords.

Hi,

Take a look at your inbound links on OSE. Take a look with your Google hat on. Do they look natural? Are they links form websites relevant to nurses? I would say no to both of these questions so I'm guessing that's why you've taken a whack.

Thanks for the suggestion.. Through OSE I found few irrelevant back links to my site and those were linking through black hat SEO practices so I contacted those Webmasters to remove my site link from their site though I don't think links it will work because of incorrect email ids of contact person. Can you suggest me some other ways to disconnect those back links from my site?
