      My site was dropshipping a product and we switched to an affiliate offer. We had three 4 links to different affiliate products.

      Our site dropped the next day. I have been number 1 for 6 months, has a pr 6 and is 2 years old.

      It has been 2 weeks and the site hasn't jumped back.

      Any suggestions on how to handle this?

        If this was my site I would drop affiliate links.  Then  be sure I am in compliance with all webmaster guidelines, then slap up adsense and submit a reconsideration request.

        If traffic comes back find a wholesale source of the product, add shopping cart buttons and ship orders myself.

        (I would start workin' on a new site in a different niche right away because this one could be down for a long time.)

          I doubt your site dropped because of those links in one day.
