At Google, a reconsideration request (redirects to sign in), after fixing a probable algorithm penalty, should help. While doing this, what you'll find, written by Google, is: For sites that directly profit from traffic, evidence of good-faith is important.

Want to discuss using a mountain-moving method for SEO? I can talk to you, through email.

Natural link building is done according to God's will. Unnatural backlinks, the kind that other competing webmasters cannot manipulate are, likely, an SE algorithm penalty.
-------
I am playing the SEO game cautiously. I minimize outgoing links to sites that have a bad (PR 0) Home Page.
-------
Thy I Statements should help cultivate desire for SEO work.
-------
Search engines can measure the usefulness of a webpage, by tracking the % of users who return to sites using the same keyword search at later dates. SERP outgoing clicks should be an important factor in SE algorithms.
-------
With no new backlinks, good keyword rankings should drop, like a bad habit.
-------
Top keyword rankings at SEs should be the easy goal of the veteran SEO, when work is fun. What is more fun than having sites at the top of organic rankings? There is nothing else! That is it! The game is won, for the day, and the money you make is just power stuff.

Organic Search Engine Optimization Work
(Updates to Discovering Priorities)

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. - Proverbs 16:3

After seven years of SEO Experience, I focus on the following 5 Priorities:

#1. SEO Work Schedule for the Expert:

Sunday: 1) rest & priority stuff 2) easy email replies 3) fun content updates [see ThySEO Checklist #5]

Monday: 1) 4 hours of: top-priority stuff (Why a Website Ranks High), & link swap email replies 2) any SEO [see Thy Checklist]

Tuesday: 1) 4 hours of top-priority stuff 2) email replies 3) any SEO

Wednesday: 1) 4 hours of: top-priority stuff, & link swap email replies 2) any SEO

Thursday: 1) 4 hours of top-priority stuff 2) email replies 3) any SEO

Friday: 1) 4 hours of: top-priority stuff, & link swap email replies 2) any SEO

Saturday: 1) 4 hours of top-priority stuff 2) email replies 3) any SEO

Doing these four things qualifies for top-priority stuff: (1) Brainstorming possible useful resources to go on new inside pages. This is, really, doing three things at once: Backlink building, updating, and useful resource creation. (2) Work on Thy SEO Reasoning Ratios Why a Website Ranks High for Keywords, using a focus on biggest (in percentage) reasons. (3) Knowing, removing and preventing any possible engine algorithm penalties that could be attached to the web sites you maintain. Superior info can be found at Google Webmasters, youtube's Google Webmaster Central, and Yahoo! Search Content Quality Guidelines. Today's top penalties: Excessive crosslinking, outbound links not working, pointing to bad (PR 0) indexes, and below average usefulness of content. (4) Very important non-SEO. Examples: Paying due bills, appointment commitments, etc.
Tip: Responding to link exchange emails within two work-days should be a priority.

#2. I commit 8+ Hours a Day, to do the work that will get my sites at the top of keyword searches:

I know that 100% of the reasons for top SE rank are the responsibility of me, the optimizer. Why a Website Ranks High for Keywords is my primary focus.

My daily work routine consists of four hours of top-priority SEO in the first five hours of the day. My second priority is creating and updating my useful resources as much as my time allows. I already have a list of all my sites' relevant keywords in notepad. On my IE browser, I have quick bookmark links to this validator and this meta tag analyzer. I check all my HTML write-up, when uploading quality pages.
Tip A: Useful service(s) and resource(s) include respectable outgoing links, a poll created at micropoll.com, a Bookmark Us javascript, offering news updates, a certified "Seal of Approval" button from a good site, a Google Custom Search, an article on the History of your theme, a site map for users, a disclaimer, a dictionary on your site's theme, a chat room like one created at meebo, a youtube or similar video, Google Gadgets, secrets, and easy to find Contact Us link. Respectable outgoing links: A dmoz.org page, a directory.google.com page, a wikipedia.org page, another well-known web page on your site's theme.
Tip B: Thy Checklist #3 lists backlink building techniques. Acquiring 1 good backlink should take, on average, 10 minutes for experts and 15 for beginners.
Tip C: Your web sites that are high organic engine hitters should get three good backlinks a week first, before other sites. The reason is that new high hitters are difficult to quick-start. Experienced webmasters in web site tracking (Google Analytics) know this.
Tip D: Google uses PageRank Technology and Hypertext-Matching Analysis in their quest to develop "the perfect search engine." PageRank factors the importance of web pages. Hypertext-Matching factors in web page content details and relevancy score of neighboring web pages. More info on this can be found at Google's Corporate Technology Overview.
Tip E: More superior engine algorithm data: 1) Webmaster Center Help, on left, under "How does Bing determine how to rank my website?" 2) Google's Search results > Ranking.

#3. I think outside the box:

Having a semi-popular website(s) can get a little frustrating when our organic rankings only slowly increase month to month. We must use courage to explore ways that we can naturally increase popularity of our web site(s). The press and any other mountain-moving method should be used. The commitment to using the press involves being courageous, then creating a written plan, then carrying out new priorities to achieve challenging goals. It helps to begin with the belief that your web site's content is a superior resource in its theme. How do you think the top websites in your site's industry became so popular? How do you think these sites maintain a Google PR 5+ rating?

When your site makes it to the top of organic rankings it will only stay up there when it contains a superior service(s) or resource(s). This takes constant updating and some brainstorming for new ideas.

#4. I understand and Implement all valid SEO Advice I read:

I now focus on understanding another webmaster's SEO Tip, even if it sounds far-fetched. A successful webmaster reads literature and implements those things that are repeated by two or more other webmasters. Once-heard-of advice, to most of us, may be difficult to believe. However, we should give Effort to implement all valid advice. It's a time commitment issue!

#5. I avoid Link Exchanges with those webmasters who end the agreements:

I do this by placing all urls to avoid in notepad in alphabetical order. I also use Google PR and a link:__ search at yahoo to ensure fair agreements. Also, I check my outbound links, for around two hours, every week, taking out the bad ones after two visits. The less links I have, the more my sites have error-free outbound links. Note: Removing a reciprocal backlink first is not recommended. Doing so only increases the odds of your backlink being deleted. I have always kept all my outbound links up until I notice my backlink has been removed.
--------------------
The above 5 SEO Work Priorities work more effectively, when used with Thy SEO Checklist & I Statements.
--------------------
I am currently unavailable to do any backlink work on sites that are not mine. Building 100+ quality backlinks for another webmaster is not really a fun thing to do because the rewards are only non-commission fees. I would rather serve people by publishing the effective SEO I discover.

If you give Effort to do everything I say to do on my SEO Checklist, for eight hours a day, your site(s) should do well in ten days to eighteen months at the engines. Are you asking, why does it take so long? Or, is not there a faster way to get SE results? Just be patient! SE algorithms place popular URLs at the top because they know they are useful to the user based on unbiased popularity calculation. The quickest way to the top of search engines is through habitual work on SEO priorities.

If you have any SEO questions or advice, I (Scott Coplen) will talk to you, for free, through email at webmaster@thyseo.com.

As of July 17, 2010, this site's strongest keyword phrases at SEs, best first, are:
best web server @ Google-US |
top 10 web hosting @ Google-US |
seo tips @ Google-Pakistan, Yahoo, bing (msn) |
organic search engine optimization tips @ Google-US |

At Google Analytics, to zero-in on your site's strongest keyword phrases: "Traffic Sources" > "Search Engines" > "non-paid" (this is optional) by "Show" in center > then a top engine. For more specific Visits, you can then click a top keyword phrase > then the "None" drop box under Site Usage, then Country/Territory and City.
Tip: When Visits are from your site's webmaster's City, you can subtract these from all of a keyword phrase's Visits. The reason for this subtraction is because a site's own webmaster should be its most frequent Visitor.
