Our website www.turbocupones.com dropped drastically in ranking today. I have no idea why this happened as we have not outsourced any SEO and sticked to google´s guidelines. Can you please check the web and give me Ideas why this happened? Our traffic dropped by 1000%. All our content is unique. I have years of experience in SEO and never had a problem like this. The rankings dropped drastically for everything. As said all SEO done is white hat.

Thanks!

If everything you do is white hat and you have good original content, I wouldn't worry about it YET.  Google is constantly messing around and testing.  Wait a day or two and see if the problem resolves itself.  I had a highly profitable keyword plummet from 1 to 50 in a day and the next day it was back to 1.  These things happen.

Hi,

It could be a temporary issue, a result of some flux in search results. You may also want to look at

a) any recent developments that you may have done on your website --- in case they have inadvertently resulted in a some problems

b) look in more detail into analytics to see if you can detect some patterns and your Webmaster Tools account for issues with crawling/indexing or links.

In any case, unless you spot some very obvious error, it may be worthwhile to watch over the next few days before taking any 'remedial' actions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have the word "cupones" in your domain which is Spanish for "coupons" (I imagine, no good at Spanish, just going on assumptions!) so could it be that because your domain is not a geoTLD, Google may not realise that your main keyword is actually not in English?

This isn't factual, this is just suggestive, but maybe try using a .es domain name?

you have inbound links from only 18 different domains yet you have thousands of links. This is alarming. I'm not sure how you can rank well with such tactics in the first place.

How long had you been ranking well before this happened?

There are site-wide footer links too.

Alright,

I believe The site-wide footer links are the problem. Despite being only 4 sites linking to us, they generate thousands of links...
My question now will be how to proceed? I never received such a big penalty for literally 4 dammed image footer links.

Should I start from a new domain ? Ask the webmasters to delete those links or no follow them ? use disavow tool?

How much time should I spect for a recovery ?

Thanks!
