1) Got his w3 validation done.

This strategy worked for this customer and he was happy. I’m not claiming that this is the way to deal with it, but it worked for a customer so no harm trying. And anyways its all white hat SEO.

People say after de-optimization, they gain their healty positions which means it's a filter rather than a penalty. If this is a penalty it should end in a finite time.

I love reading your blog postings, and I wish I could find someone like you to help develop my blog for my business.

I have read the same posting by tedster at WMW and while I do believe there exists an over optimization penalty, after reading through some of the complaints about the -950 penalty, I feel that it is more like the MSSA penalty (love that one by the way) :)

I know that I look at on page factors all the time for my personal sites. I still have not found any magic bullet, but I believe that a site can rank well if they follow best practices when designing their sites.

While we enjoy building sites for others, I despise doing search engine optimization/marketing for our clients and would rather sub-contract it out to someone else.

Thanks for the wonderful and entertaining articles you guys and gals here at Bruceclay.com post on a regular basis.

I believe that it is more possible that the effects of penalization are due to overoptimization rather than a -950 penalty. I had experiences of website that after a massive change on-page factors ranked worse. And looking deep at the changes, these were alla sings of over optimization. Expecially built on phrases rather than keyword stuffing. </p> Very interesting post Bruce.
