Just wanted to quickly chime in now that I have given this package a bit more time to do its thing.
It seems to me that you really have to wait 'til you package has complete, and perhaps a wee bit longer. This package typically takes about 2-3 weeks it seems to unroll, which is just fine by me.
Before I reported that I was seeing lots of positive action on kws that I wasn't targeting with this build. Today, those positions hold, and my targeted terms have moved up about a page on avg, and are now about to break page one it seems.
These are local big market terms, which I strongly believe I was penalized for. Anchor overoptimization. The timing of my drop was way too coincidental, and after reviewing my anchors it seems pretty clear. What doesn't make sense however is it is my understanding no redemption can come until the next Penguin update, which has not yet occurred, so maybe I am calling a dog a cat here...Maybe Grind can provide some insight here?
In any event, my fat head terms seems to have gone back to where they were before the drop, and I am on my way again.
I have another dozen or so sites hooked up to Base II's so I'm sure there will be more to report in the near future.
