I am making this a short post because it is late. I found a great tool the allows webmasters to check for penalties against websites. This is a fantastic tool because if you go by Page rank alone, you will find that your hard work with press releases and backlinks could be digging you in a hole.
Check all sites before linking or you will tank your site! Some site are heavily penalized by Google and Yahoo in particular and you will tank your own ranking if you link up with them. I found this site because I was looking for where I caused my own demise when I was sinking in the SERPS. I was able to undo the damage, thankfully.
Check this out: “Seopenalty.com.” Here is a screen-shot:
Make sure you run the check before you link!
