Many blogs and forums are reporting that the Google Penalty, which hits sites when the anchor text is “too targeted”, has been lifted. Even Matt Cutts has said he doesn’t see anything that could cause the penalty. Personally, I’m not seeing evidence that this penalty is being lifted. In fact, my testing shows it is happening and continues to hit many of my affiliate sites and many of your sites too. In fact, I’ve talked with quite a few of regarding this very issue.
