Q: Are there penalties that last forever? And what would be a possibility to remove this penalties from ones websites?

A: There are things that need a manual review before they’re lifted. If a webmaster is pretty sure that they did something wrong, they can mail to webmaster at google.com with the subject line “reinclusion request.” It helps to describe what you think happened, and what you changed on the site to make sure that everything is in good shape now.
