Website that just got hit....Need some tips or ideas...

[WayneRooney]

Hey guys,

The website of the company i work hit in the PR update two days ago .

A little history , the site was notice by Google about spam links around  5-6 months ago .
Since then there is a company that cleans all the spam links and manage all the disavow process.

In the last penguin update ( about two months ago ) the site jumped like crazy in the ranking and stayed there ever since...

In the last three months we create less than ten links to the site, and we have focus all our work to improve
the optimization of the site.
It should be noted that the company is investing a lot in social networks and all the work in the past 3 month are White and clean...

Now, two days ago in the PR update (more or less) the site just dropped , but when i say dropped , it's 200 keys that was in page 1-2 that just want out to page 5-6-7. Like the website is gone, i never see something like this...

The things that pass through my head:

A lot of the links the linking to the site with high PR lost their pr and now they are worthless, but still this drop ? its to extreme.
Or that Google received the disavow and just disavow a lot of links....

Does anyone have any ideas or tips on the subject ?

Thank you

Hello,

Did you receive a penalty in your WMT ? There wasn't much a couple of days ago other than a large link network being removed I know a lot of people in the network have received a slap, might want to check your site has never been in the network and work on cleaning up after said network if it has.

You could look into a link audit see if you've got any links Google doesn't like though this depends if you had a message from Google. It sounds to me you got hit from the removal of the following network -

Good luck.

Hi Edmond,

Chris is right.  I haven't notice anything in the past couple of days and I haven't seen any buzz from anyone else.  Usually, if someone in Google sneezes, the SEO news outlets go nuts.

I wanted to clarify something Chris didn't touch on, though.  You seem to be referring to the Google Toolbar PageRank update that happened a few days ago.  I wanted to clarify for you that the update didn't affect rankings.  The Toolbar PageRank is just a general indicator of a site's pagerank in the context of Google's current index.  It's just an indicator (and an unreliable one at that), not something that causes anything to happen.
