Recovering traffic of a directory

[hagai]

Hi,

I run a legitimate online directory. We verify all the listings, do not include do follow links to the clients sites. Allow for and monitor user reviews as well as publish unique content in our niche.

Over the last few years we have been hammered with Penguin and Panda penalties and have tried to remedy the issues with little success.

Is there anyone out there who has specific experience with SEO for directories? Anyone that has assisted a directory in recovering from these penalties?

Please contact me

That's a tough one. Though it sounds like the issues you've been careful about would mostly be targeting Panda, Penguin has to do more with links. How does your backlink profile look? Maybe run it through Moz's new spam score feature to find any unwanted links.
