It feels like there should be a conclusion to all of this, but it carries on and on ...
I just realized it is election day today in the US
How far outside normal day-to-day fluctuations is this for your site, and have you an idea (or at least a suspicion) what might account for it?

We saw the normal signs of an update-boost on Thursday, dead Friday, dead Saturday (LOTS of foreign visits), slight recovery Sunday, dead Monday & today, well, guess what, DEAD! Whatever hit us has stuck so far
If you are watching Statcounter it seems to have issues today. Mine doesn't seem to count unique visitors for last two hours, it counts only pageviews and repeat visitors but not unique and new.

I'm getting referals from various forum posts where people have linked to our site (multiple domains). Trouble is when I check the links all of the posts are OLD, VERY old, as in 2008>2009. I just can't get my heda around what is going on, a few weeks back we had the best week in months, now we are back to basically not existing. How is this good for anyone? Will we use Adwords? Nope, what's the point? We can't control stock as we don't know what one week will bring. Just don't get what is happening during these on/off periods, sure the SERP's shuffle a little but I NEVER see anything drastic.

one should learn to be "patient"
On the one hand, I don't think we have any choice: patience is forced upon us. On the other, my site has been excluded from the results since May for a main key term for no reason I can fathom. Patience does not fill an order book

The BIG question is why are they there are what is going on now?
Taking a shot in the dark, and on first impression, I would say that penguin may have a limit on how far it goes back to apply penalties.

I really don't think this is correct,
many penguin hit sites that I am aware of have been very clean for several years, but did some directory submissions / link exchanges / article submissions a few years ago when such things were popular.
