      Hi,

      I'm running a text message site mixsms.com from 2009. It was performing good till Oct 2012. In the end of Nov 2012 I noticed a drop in traffic and then with each passing month I'm getting 1500-2000 unique visitors drop. In Oct 2012 my daily unique visitors were 15000+ each day and now it is just having 2000 after Feb end.

      I've done several things to improve my site. I changes the template, removed all unnecessary html elements, changed seo structure (optimize with all modern seo techniques). Stop backlinking from Nov 2012 but instead of getting improvements I'm continuously having a drop in traffic.

      I'll highly appreciate your time if you look into site deeply to findout exact issues that are causing for this drop. I'm even ready to hire any seo consultant if he is pretty sure to get 100% results.

      Thanks in advance for your support

        Are you adding new content and are you actively using social media?

        are you getting any messages from google web masters.

          Hi,

          I'm updating site as well as social media pages. I've checked several times my webmaster tools too but nothing there to make changes. I even sent reconsideration request for my site and I got response saying that there isn't any manual action taken against my site.

          Now I've no way to move, dropping traffic day by day without any genuine reason or anything I do to fix.

            Looks like a google panda problem. Too many links, two many repetitions of "SMS"he adverts say google and the users are confused on e what you offer and what service You actually provide To me it looks like a spam site. Get some well written content.  Your site seems to be listed in many eastern european web directories /link farms I would try and get some better quality links.

              Can you pinpoint the date of your drop?  Does it look like Nov 21?  That was a Panda date.

                Yes, exactly. That was Nov 21-22. The drop in traffic started in those days and never ended up 😞

                So now I need help to recover. Your suggestion will be highly appreciated.

                  I only had a quick look at your site, but I think recovery could be difficult.  Panda generally affects thin sites or sites with duplicate content.  I didn't check for duplicate content but it did look like there was a lot of thin content.  There are a number of pages that offer very little value to someone searching on Google.
