Dealing with penaltiesIs it a manual or algorithmic penalty?
Manual Clues Webmaster Tools messages and site:yoursite.com searches Brand name searches - not a good indicator
Algo clues Traffic drops within a few days of algo going public* Lack of manual penalty clues

•Clean up any BlackHat stuff, including, but not limited to:•Hidden Text/links (CSS, JS or HTML)•Scraped/Automatically generated/Hard-to-read content•Cloaking (Mobile browsers OK)•Excessive ads•Keyword stuffing•Rich Snippets abuse•Excessive backlinking that may have hurt you•User-generated spam (spammy free accounts, spammy posts on forums & blogs)•See more here
•Disavow tool links: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main (use sparingly and with care)•Check for malicious code (Webmaster tools does a pretty good job of notifying you of a compromised site)•Reconsideration requests https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/reconsideration

What are the most important social media signals
•Facebook likes and shares (public)•Authorship & Google +1’s•Tweets and retweets•Social bookmarks•Blogosphere chatter•Press Releases and sharing of the same•Usage of shortened URLs on Social media•CTR on shortened URLs (ShortTask.com)
