Maybe it DID get penalized?

Good question.

I drilled down into top 3 search terms from the last month an updated the article.

Results are:

- Git Tips – Average position declined from 2.4 to 2.9

- Angular Performance – Average position improved from 2.4 to 2.3

- Node JS Memory Leak – Average position improved from 3.4 to 2.9

Based on that, in comparison with other observations I am pretty sure that my site did not get penalized. Please let me know if you disagree or if you think I should pull some other stats.

Edit.
