Google penalty means your site dropping ranks. It usually happens when over optimise your sites (high keyword density and such), spammy backlinks, duplicate contents, etc. Once your site is penalised, it may be hard to recover, thats why NEVER buy backlinks; spammy backlinks are among the main reason for google to penalise a site.
