What happened to my site?
-
This is my website: http://goo.gl/Brekn
It was related to health niche. I am good with the serp for the last couple of hours. I am in top for the keywords: cure for piles, hemorrhoids treatment, natural hemorrhoid treatment. My main keyword is hemorrhoids treatment.
And has recently added this page, http://goo.gl/SXNtX
This page has some dupe content, as content writer was busy i have copied the content from other sources. Does this have any effect? I have not added this page onto homepage as i dont like google to index it until my copywriter writes the content.
Dont know what happened, in the last few hours i lost my serp to no where. Can anyone tell me what happened to my site. Did i done anything wrong? In the last week i have added a link to my ebooks related site. Does this affected my serps? Or did the Google recent change

Has any effect on my site?
Awaiting for your replies...

It is difficult to tell anyone "why" something dropped in rankings. On first blush, it could be around the content as you do have a large image at top so even on a MacbookPro 17, I don't see any real content until I scroll down. But, it is not terrible. With the content, it is a bit thin. If it is duplicated as well, I don't see how it could rank well.
Another thing could be that you are not getting the CTR you need and that is pushing you down a bit. Your meta description is too long and the call to action is at the end of it....in other words no one knows they can "get relief from painful hemorrhoids in less than 48 hours" as they never see it in the snippet on the SERP. Put that first. Get quality content on the page, maybe link to a couple of quality resources (med journal, wiki) from your main content, etc.
Hope this helps.
Edit, you have marked this as an ongoing discussion and it really is a question.

Hi,
Thanks for your valuable suggestions. I am not ranking for my domain name also, is this is a kind of penality? I was able to see all my results in 45th page. Does this penality has any name?

Have you looked in GWMT to see if there is anything there from Google? I don't think it is a penalty, but if you are using someone else's content (and there are a lot of people with your product on the web) you will need to change that asap.

How have you been building backlinks? I had a quick look and many of them look suspicious to me. I see a lot of stuff that comes from unrelated high(ish) PR blogs that also link out to bad neighborhoods (sex, etc.). If you've been buying links then Google may be on to you.

From the looks of things you have several poor seo methods in place.
Defo looks like you bought links. OSE has your page with thousands of links, most of which are unrelated, highly keyword dense, on sites that are filled with links going out.
And using content that you copied can also impact you poorly. Most likely you got penalized.
I know that as a search user if I typed in any of those keywords and found your site I would be upset that your page appeared and would leave and find something else. So Google probably saw that as well.

I have unique content, i only copied one small article which i mentioned above, and regarding links, yes i am building links, but i am building links based on my competitor links data. And is there any chance for me to know what exactly has took my site back and what i need to do in order to get back its position. Tomorrow i am gonna ask my copy writer to write more content for it. And i will fix the issue with content. And do you guys really think the problem is also with link data? As i have no chance removing some of the links. And also there are no warnings in GWT.
