For anyone reading Tedster's post above, I would concur with all his points. I would add however that for quite a few people hit with this penalty the level of fluctuation from the #31 position has increased significantly in the last 3 weeks i.e. can move from day to day from #28 to #49, sometimes up to #59. So if all your former high ranked pages including your domain are now ranked say at #45, don't feel left out!
