Hey guys, in this months I got some penalties in my website and some keywords went down, my traffic switch from 1.000 users/day to 500 users/day. In this days I tried something, I re-write the posts for the keywords that I lost ranking and redirect the old posts to the new with 301 redirect, and now i'm seeing that my position for this keywords dance like 10->90->40->11 etc. for the new urls, I did something wrong?

301 passes the penalty....so you blew it.
So, what can I do? I can't delete and re-write all posts because I will got a lot of 404 errors

Start over....investing your energy in a hit site is not worth it.

This is not entirely true. I saw a site few weeks ago, it was penalized. From position 1 to N/A and few days after, a new site pop up to top 3. I check it out and lo and behold, it was the penalized site! It is been almost 2 weeks and the site is still ranking No.1.
Good, I hope the redirect will boost my rank.
Can you send me the url please? Thanks

I am not sure it will be of any benefit to you
Take the advice of @don chino and others above. The 301 redirect could be temporary before you lose it all again. It might not even work or it will pass the penalty to your site. It depends on many factors.

If it is for the March Update then the penalty was not related to site's quality issues.
It is more about user experience issues. Please check details here https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/googles-core-algorithm-update-march-18-exactly-for-what.1019695/
