This is all speculation because the other 1 i still cant pull out. So it leaves me far from the master, it still gives me about a 75% kill rate.
950 sucks balls, id almost rather be totally banned. It drives me batty and had me up for many nights.

thanks for the response,
Recently this week i optimized my site which was ranking #1 for several keywords - i also got a back link that gave me an addtional 7k backlinks ( i only had 500) - mind you i was a site wide link but still i wasn't sure if that put up a red flag. The more i read on this it seems to throw you into the 950 for over optimization OR the internal linking within your site ( both of which i was guilty of doing.
thank god this was a little side biz i had because i wouldn't want to rely on Google to put food on my table
