Not a good idea to put all eggs in one basket but IMO webmasters should not run their website for google but do it for their audience.I know people who believe if you make too many changes to a website after a penalty it actually can make it worst.
I had a website that was under a couple manual penalties ,the only thing I did was link trades with some banned websites(not banned at the time) total of 9 links .I replied to google and told them any SEO stuff we did and about the 9 links with ‘authority’ websites .Within 7 weeks I got a reply and the penalties were off ,I notice that 7 of 9 sites came back as well.
I believe Google is still trying to automate their processes and in the meantime some of us are getting caught up.
