    If I had to build a penguin recovery toolkit:

    1. Always make sure you have a secondary, clean domain that has age/index value
    2. Immediately start taking down any dodgy links

    Go through your site with another set of eyes (get a 3rd opinion)
    3. Remove any pages with KW stuffing
    4. Check your file, folder structure
    5. Check for circular links

    map out the site
    6. Breaking it into Tiers, map it out in excel
    7. Consider rewriting your meta data
    8. If you have thousands and thousands of pages that arent indexed - try dropping them or building different sitemaps
    9. Make sure your site is laid out as per the Google webmaster advice page
    10. Re-read the Google Webmasters advice PDF
    11. Re-visit your site

    If you have a blog
    12. Remove spammy comments
    13. Check your outbound links
    14. Kill any recoprical links
    15. Remove any articles, spun stuff, automated links

    Clean up any dead links, create a new sitemap, submit it

    Request inclusion and outline the steps taken.

    Have a coffee.

    Build a new site on a new hosting platform :) Use WordPress. Reset your personal spam indicator - it's obviously far off!

    I think Facebook needs no introduction any more, I find it extremely dull and boring when articles about Facebook or any other well know platform for that matter is started with cliches such as the largest social networking site etc etc so I will just assume you already know what Facebook is and go into how you can use some of its services to attract more traffic.


    The aspect this articles looks at is how to create a mini site. If you want to use Facebook for your business, you should create a business version, not the one meant for individual. With the business Facebook page, you can do a lot more such as the mini site this tutorial is talking about. In this article we create a mini site for a naughty dating site called Very Naughty. A step by step instruction of how to create the mini website now follows.


    Step-by-step guide to create your mini Facebook website



    1. Using you favourite web creation software, create a site with a width of 515 pixel by height approximately 800 pixel, create any pages you like on the site. Once the site is created, upload it to a folder on your server, for example www . yourSiteURL co.uk/fb/ .
    2. Now, log-in to Facebook and click to CREATE PAGE button on the top right. Complete all the required 2-3 step, add name, upload image. (Note that the image will appear on the right side of your Facebook page.
