Penalty began May 4 Full recovery of rankings on August 4

I would be concerned that perhaps this recovery was nothing more than a 3 month penalty being lifted and had little, if anything, to do with the steps taken by the site owner.

I only mention this because I've seen a site have a 3 year penalty lifted - with absolutely nothing being done during that time to make it happen. But the time had been served, so it was just time to let it out of the penalty box. Just something to consider...
