Has it screwed up any of your site rankings?. And if so, what have you done/do you intend doing about it?.

Hasn't really affected any of my sites as far as I can tell, except one which up until last week was ranking on page 1, top or second top of the results for certain popular key phrases. It's now vanished from Google almost completely unless you search for the actual name of the site it won't appear in the listings. Strange, could be a coincidence but whatever it is it is bloody annoying!!. Unsurprisingly enough if I carry out a search for the same website using the previously effective key phrases on Yahoo, it pops up on page 1 where it was on Google. Weird. :confused:
 
Isn't the whole deal with Penguin to target sites dealing in link spamming?

I can only assume you're asking because you feel you weren't taking part in this kind of bad practice so do you Google Analytics or webmaster tools reveal anything about links to your site?

Yes, as far as I know it would seem to be an anti link spamming measure on Google's part which is why I found it strange and a little coincidental that the site in question has almost vanished from Google. It's a fairly simple website for a local driving school. I'll have a look in Webmasters Tools to see if there's any info there regarding links.
 
Yeah, twelve or so links to your website PER website... seems a bit odd.

Also what are those 90 websites? Do you recognise them as this again seems a lot of a small website.
