@anthonydnelson @IMJacobKing @tehseowner Agreed that it’s penguin. Only case we’ve been dealing with seems be resolved.

We have noticed some good improvements on a client who targets US/AU from a .com.au domain. The website was affected by a prior penguin release on around 20 landing pages. All these landing pages are now back ranking top 1/2 pages for a highly competitive niche which is a great result for this client.
Please comment below if you have noticed Penguin movements today and noticed any recovery.
