Hey there, Everyone:

have you been able to recover a page from panda or penguin by a simple URL change on the same domain?

Example: Changing the following page from:

mydomain.com/blue-widgets.html

to:

mydomain.com/blue_widgets.html

or would the following be better:

mydomain.com/bluewidgets.html

Please Note: This page used to rank on page 1 of the SERPs for "blue widgets" but then dropped out and was replaced by the home page.

I should also mention that I have done a reconsideration request and I got a message back saying there was no manual penalty, and I suspect that it might be an inbound link or two from an external site that might be causing the pandalization / penguinization.

thanks in advance for your thoughts.
