How to fix algo penalty

I believe I've received an automatic penalty for over optimization so my question is --- instead of removing or changing the anchors of inbound links can i get an automatic penalty removed simply by adding more links to make the profile appear more natural? The site only has about 30 domain level links pointed at it now

At step one you need to figure out what penalty it is because there are different penalties updating from time to time that includes Panda, penguin and others..

In case you are confirmed that the penalty is the automatic penalty for over optimization then in that case you need to fix your on-page Optimization as well as off-page Optimization... because it is not only because of the over optimized anchor text on links that are pointing to the website but this also can be a internal linking, quality of content, and other technical problems.

I would highly recommend you to do a complete website audit in terms of on-page as well as off-page so that you have a clear idea of where you should focus in order to get back to search engine SERPs.

What makes you think it's an over optimization penalty ? Have you received any webmaster console messages. Were you ranking 2 weeks ago and now all of your rankings have dropped or is it that some of your rankings have dropped. Please explain the exact situation a little bit more before there can be a solid conclusion.
