Anyone get a full recovery yet? My sites are in the "ripening" stage and coming up on about 2 months in about a week and a half. Thanks

ANNOUNCEMENT:
I submitted an email to all clients who have EMDs whom we have taken in as clients. Almost two weeks ago, there were 3 big Google updates (Panda v20, EMD, Penguin refresh), 2 of which targeted directly EMD penalized sites.
The first one is the EMD update which lowered the allowed keyword percentage pretty close to non-EMDs making the advantage of EMDs at a minimal level. This caused the penalized EMDs to experience a harder state for recovery to happen.
The second one is the Penguin refresh. Based on the research I have done and experience handling many sites across different niches as well as handling a good number of EMDs versus non-EMDs, I noticed something very interesting. The sites that weren't touched after the Penguin actually saw a rise in the SERPs but the sites that were worked on by sending out high PR generic links were the ones whose recent improvements were put down once again.
For clients who have non-EMD sites, another email will be coming shortly that will include propositions on how we should go about. However, those sites who have not been affected by the update will have their campaigns continue.
This is really unfortunate especially for EMDs since not only is the value lower but the penalized EMDs are harder to recover now and this goes without saying that Dr. Recro has to adjust to his gameplan in order to get back in the game (irony, really). Honestly, we didn't see this coming (nobody did) and it came at such a wrong time where A LOT of our clients have been seeing HUGE improvements across the board (pages 2 -3 on almost all the keywords).
Because of this, I have to close down this thread temporarily and email the clients to seek the best alternative route for the contract agreed.
