Sudden drop in Google with our top performing keywords

[activitybreaks5]

Hi,

I'm writing about the sudden drop in our keyword rankings from our site www.activitybreaks.com.  Our keywords that have significantly seen a drop have been

activity holidays was 8th now 16th

Adventure holidays was 15th now 71st

We have been listed on the first page for a number of keywords but these has suddenly dropped in the last couple of days.

We did receive a notice on the 19th May from Google stating that they detected unnatural links.  So we spent a couple of weeks getting the links removed and have re-submitted the site on 11th June.  When I go into Google webmaster there is no reply from Google as yet and the links are still showing even though we know they have been removed.

We also noticed in the last couple of days that we had a duplicate home page but this has now since been removed.

Should we re-submit our site to Google for reconsideration or wait to they get back to us. Is there anything else we can be doing to fix this situation.

Let me know if you have any ideas! Anything is appreciated, thanks.

Hi Naomi  -

You will probably get some various thoughts on this, but it's probably best to forget about the messages Google is telling you.

Focus your time on earning quality links from topical sites. This will easily replace the value lost from your previous linking efforts.

Without knowing all of the activities you've done for the site, it's hard to provide more reasons as to what could have caused the drop in rankings. Be sure to do a thorough audit of the site from a technical perspective and take a deep look at your backlinks to see what the issues might be.
