Penalized site? How to know? Need some advice..

OK, just a quick question for you; in your own honest opinion do you think Google sees any value to your site?

Based on the content on it and the sites that you're linking to?

I don't know the actual sites that you're linking to, what Google thinks of those sites or the content on your own site which is why I am saying 'ask yourself these questions'.

Has G released an update recently where it may penalize your site based on the sites that you link to?

I really don't know what to say, this is my first time ranking my sites.. So yes, my content are unique of course. Decent landing page to attract visitors and this site is 4 months old. And my site does not have any links to any sites just a download locker from PPD.

I have 10 sites now, only 1 got penalized and hopefully it will recover till next week or I will forget it.
I guess panda 4.1 is still refreshing.. Even if google penalize all my sites I will still not stop.

Btw just checked ahref and majestic SEO.. It has 42%-45% anchor keyword cloud which I was targeting.

It's either a penalty or a Google dance. Did you build any backlinks recently to your site? If yes, then it's likely a Google dance. If no, then it's likely a penalty. It seems an algorithm update is being rolled out but no one is sure yet, so you should wait for a few weeks before making any changes to your site.

Yes I am building links using PBN on it.
It is a 4 month old site and is ranking #7 on my target for almost a month.
I am just going to wait and see what's going to happen.
