Malware ranking drops

[Sayers]

Hi,

One of our sites got hit with malware in November.

We cleaned it up and sent a reconsideration request and no malware warnings are in WMT anymore.

We still haven't seen an improvement in rankings even though people say it can take up to 90days?

Organic traffic is down 40% and still dropping.

Any advice?

Thanks

have you considered whether this could be a separate issue? maybe your site was hit by the Google penguin update for example.

Yep, we have thought about that but we don't think that is an issue as there weren't any major updates around the time it should have been starting to recover.
