I know, I've been covering Penguin like a crazy clown but we only really covered how some are seeing Penguin recoveries. When there are ups in rankings, someone else's rankings need to go down - that is just logical - there is only one site that can rank in the number one organic spot.

You can find this on Twitter where he said in response to link devaluations.
