What Does Penguin Recover Look Like?

[voicesdotcom]

Is a recovery from Penguin immediate once Google recognized that you've fixed the problem or is it a slow and steady recovery?

I think we may have fixed our issue which is why we're seeing an immediate spike in traffic from Google organic search results.  Our daily traffic was up more than 100% in a single day.

Is this a recovery?  At which speed have other sites you manage recovered?

Being Penguin a link penalty, once you clean the "infected" link profile, then the recovery should quite fast after the penalty is lifted.

Said that, cannot be addressed a black or white kind of answer, because if the links eliminated were representing the biggest % of all the links, than the site won't jump back to the old traffic volume for the simple fact that it misses now those benefits those links were offering until Penguin.

But if the % wasn't huge and new better links had been created while eliminating the bad ones, then it is possible to see traffic having a steep recover as the one shown in your analytics.

Said that, this is just my opinion based over what I've seen, hence don't take it as it was the rule
