• Google Penguin, even though the name sounds very
  adorable, has become a nightmare for many
  webmasters over the past few months. Announced on
  April 24, 2012, Google Penguin is a code name
  given to an algorithm and the aim behind its
  launch is to decrease the search engine ranking
  of the websites that infringe the Google
  Webmasters guidelines. With the recent update of
  this algorithm, which was launched on May 22,
  many websites have been hit by this new update by
  the internet giant. Google Penguin uses black-hat
  SEO techniques like keyword stuffing, cloaking,
  participating in link schemes, deliberate
  creation of duplicate content and others.

• As per the estimates, this update affects approx.
  3.1 per cent of search queries in English, but a
  huge percentage is given to highly spammed
  language. Even though the main purpose behind
  this update was to catch excessive spammers, but
  sadly many legitimate websites and SEO have
  became victims of this new algorithm. So, now the
  question arises that what if your website has
  been hit by the Google Penguin 2.0. Whether you
  can recover it or not, whether will you ever get
  your rankings back in the Google search or not.

• Low Quality ContentThe first and the foremost
  reason of a website to get a penguin penalty is
  the low quality of the content. By low quality,
  we mean duplicate content, missing relevant
  content and also, content which is completely
  centred on keywords without any relevancy of the
  same.
• The best solution for this mistake is to start
  posting original content on your webpages. For
  the previous posts, either edit them or rewrite
  them completely to make them more alive and if in
  case you any points from anywhere, then do
  mention the links to the reference sites,
  wherever required.

• Mirror Anchor TextIn the wake of being focused
  on the search engine rankings, many webmasters
  make this mistake on focusing on single keyword
  and this is the practice which is just not
  acceptable by this new friend of the Google.
• To stay away from receiving a penguin penalty on
  this criterion, use Anchor text diversity. Never,
  ever, use the same keywords for the sake of
  building link for your website. There are many
  types of anchor text which you can use like
  Partial Match Anchor text, Zero Match Anchor Text
  and even the Branded Anchor Text.
• So, the next time you post something on your
  website, make sure to remember the above given
  tips in order to stay tension free about your
  website being caught by this new web police.
