6 year old Corporate domain lost all rankings on EMD day.

Hello, our company's website goo.gl/7Q56G lost all our rankings after the EMD algo update. Our domain is NOT a EMD.

At the same time, I found that we have about 6000 new, extremely low quality spam backlinks with the same anchor text ("loan"). I saw some of those a few weeks ago, but didn't really pay much attention because I didn't believe Google would think we build those.

I didn't get any messages on webmaster central. If this occurred with the EMD update, is it because of the low quality backlinks?

Most of the real spammers, brokers (we are the actual funding source) are now dominating the top 10 for our main keyword "merchant cash advance". We were in the top 10 for the past 4 years, why would we get hit so hard now?

I really appreciate your advice.

David - best thing to do right now is to not make any moves with URL.

Are you able to make contact to the URL's that are supplying you with the poor - over abundance of links all of a sudden?

Due to your age and overall rankings over the years you should be coming back from this and don't forget their is another penguin update still rolling out into the end of this week.

This site really interest me as I used to run a few URLs within the same vertical and know the segment very well.

Keep me posted if you would like via email - chenzo@honesty.im -

No, the 6000 come from foreign websites, many of them are Chinese (.tw). I think that Google should know better, a company that has been running a website for 6 years in not going to build links that way so quickly. It just seems that anyone could do that to their competitors.
