We have been developing a website and we have been spending over $50,000 and close to $100,000 for our dynamic website.
Our website is pretty expensive, to increase our page ranks, some SEO have submitted our site to FFA pages WHICH MOST OF THEM SAY IT IS UNAVOIDABLE GOOGLE'S PENALTY VERSUS TRAFFIC.
Google has been indexing our first page, which is OK, at the moment and for now we are happy rather than being removed from GOOGLE. we even had our search engine optimized for google.
We would like to know HOW WE THE INVESTORS OF EXPENSIVE WEBSITES TO AVOID PENALTY WHEN WE ARE SPENDING LIKE HELL JUST TO BE POPULAR, Then being removed for unfair reasons.
We would like to know how to be removed from PENALTY.
Our site consist of more than 650 Dynamic pages,and we have partners with more than 10 SEO. Yes we have a global mall, auctions, travel agencies, manpower agencies and community. and all our pages are ASP Based.

Well, you see, your basic problem is, buying popularity is what Google most needs to penalize.
What the professional popularity-merchants do in a case like this is burn the domain name, take the site down and get it out of Google's cache, and start over with another domain name.
The other thing they do is, before they start a link-kiting or link-napping scheme, they make sure they can move their content over to another domain. It's part of professional preparation, just like a professional burglar might carry bribe money, stash bail money with a friend, or retain a lawyer -- or like a lawyer might carry malpractise insurance. You never _want_ to use it, but if you need it, you don't have a choice.
over $50,000 and close to $100,000
You start throwing those numbers around here and you can expect some sticky-mail soon... :-)
First we should clarify on some points:
How old is the site, when was it first indexed?
Second, what makes you think you have been penalized?
Third: did you have links placed on FFA sites, and when have they been placed?
Fourth: Do you already have the obvious links, like DMOZ, Yahoo, and other directories, as well as links from other sites?
