      Would you say this is both Penguin and Panda and no penalty has ever been lifted? What would be your general recommendations for this site?

        Hi

        In general? Do link audit and seo audit. Then implement findings.

        But to say more, reveal domain name. Can be to pm if you want.

        On the other hand there could be no penalties, just crappy website (according to google guidelines now).

          Hi Bob,

          I do agree with Krzysztof that an audit would help see what it going on, but something else to keep in mind is that if a side does get hit with a penalty, then they rarely just go back to where they were beforehand.

          Check the dates in a little more detail to see what they correspond with.

          -Andy
