The Penguin algorithm was created to deal with web spam and it detects and reduces the rankings of websites related or linked to spammy websites. It is well known that Google gives websites Penguin penalties for having spammy and low quality backlinks. This would mean that you would rank badly on SERP. However, there seems to be no easy way to check whether your website is affected by the Penguin penalty. How do you check if your website has a Penguin penalty? Have you ever got a Penguin penalty?
In 2012, Google released the Disavow tool which allows you to remove the effects of spammy links. However, it is classed as an advanced tool because you could be potentially removing good quality links and people may be not wish to use it. Therefore, using it may also affect your website’s rankings in a negative way. Have you ever used the Disavow tool? Is it worth using if you have a Penguin penalty? Are there any alternative ways you could use to remove Penguin penalties?
My website lost some traffic recently and I would really like to know if this was due to a Penguin penalty or other reasons,
Thank you!

1. That a specific keyword, or a group of keywords have suffered from a sharp drop in rankings. Often the page will go from a high position to a very low one in the rankings.
2. The page that contains that particular keyword might be de-indexed, however the other pages on the site are indexed.
3. You may notice that you have a message regarding unnatural linking inside your Webmaster Tools. This is under "Search Queries" and "Manual Actions".
4. It could also be that certain pages on your site which are not supposed to be ranking are now showing up for the penalized terms. The Penguin algorithm, simply put, evaluates the quality of the links.Those who engage in somewhat aggressive link building campaigns can end up suffering from a Penguin penalty. Unnatural link patterns can be discovered, and artificial links which are being used in the hope of manipulating search engine rankings can lead to this type of penalty. Generally speaking though avoiding such practices such as the use of automated tools for link building is the first step to avoid this penalty. If you suspect that you got a Penguin penalty you will probably notice the following things: 1. That a specific keyword, or a group of keywords have suffered from a sharp drop in rankings. Often the page will go from a high position to a very low one in the rankings. 2. The page that contains that particular keyword might be de-indexed, however the other pages on the site are indexed. 3. You may notice that you have a message regarding unnatural linking inside your Webmaster Tools. This is under "Search Queries" and "Manual Actions". 4. It could also be that certain pages on your site which are not supposed to be ranking are now showing up for the penalized terms.
