I recently dropped my website traffic incredibly. All traffic were based and came through single keyword. received 6k - 7k hits per day usually and 50 - 60 $ adsense income. Now it has been outranked and traffic dropped below 200 visits per days and no more than 2 - 3 $ adsense income. I must say that, I've never spam or used blackhat seo. all links were built from relevant and quality sites. I believe this is because penguin 1.1 update out rolled recently. Now I want to recover my site back.
I recently found that when I check backlinks by backlinkswatch.com, it says my site have no backlinks. but in webmaster tools I have more than 500 backlinks. Why is that ?
Can anyone please give me some tips to recover my site back since now it meant to be article submission / directory submission and almost all easy backlinks have no weight on ranking ?
After the first penguin update it seems to be they have given total credit to brand name owners in search results. as an example for the query "gmail bla bla" all top results are dedicated to gmail official site. third party website are ranked as far as from 3rd page or up. anyone have clear idea about this?
Thanks all.
