So, today I ran a report which took dates of Google Penguin updates against traffic patterns on my site. What I noticed was when Google ran Penguin 4, my traffic which was somewhat improving just took a nose dive!
Everything I've read about Penguin 4 from Matt and Google says it was released to stop webspam.
O.K., that's great. Still, when I got into Google Webmaster Tools my account says, about my site, "No manual webspam actions found."/ So, if there is no webspam actions, why was I punished for webspam?
Is there some underlying web spam that GWT doesn't recognize but Penguin hates? How can I search this out? How can I find the source of this web spam and eliminate it?
