This is before the day of the disavow, took me almost a year to get it back. When it came back, it was fast. A swift return to most of the rankings but a noticeable lack of traffic for a further few months. Gradually it has returned, I suspect when recovery is finally secured that Google flag the site for a while, lack of trust would be understandable. So once some natural links started coming in again things got back to normal. I have to say tho, that I did receive a good back and forth during the year long process from Google. On more recent recovery projects that communication has completely broken down, which is a shame.

In all f**king fairness! The same site is ranking.

I mostly focus on them for my own benefit but from what I see you're better off taking anything google says with a pinch of salt.

What that highlights to me is that either the webmaster taking part of the poll don't understand the Penguin algorithm, haven't really tried to address it or it is genuinely hard to get out from under the penalty. I really wish there were more "I tired & failed" recovery posts that were an open book, so everyone can collective learn from it.
