Last year when I was affected by the -950 penalty, the major change I made to my site was the left menu. I previously had the same menu on the side of every page. The top of my page was the main menu, and the side menu was links to the sub-categories. I changed my left menu so that each sub-category has its own left-hand menu. This, in effect, added more key words to my article pages. When my rankings came back I actually gained more traffic from these changes because of the added key words. My site never was affected by the penalty again...
