        Hi

        As you rightly mentioned this is due to google penalty. I think, you still need to run a details audit of your backlinks. Most of the time, try to analysi each link on its own. As mostly, one domain gives you good do follow link as well as some sort of toxic links. Off course, you want to keep good one.

        Make sure, you explore all of your back links, by using historical data from Majistic link exploerer, Screeming Frog, MOZ link explorer along with Ahref and Google Search Consule.

        AT the same time do update all of your site content regardless if its been unqiue or duplicate. In my opinion, this is time consuming and effort taking procdure.

        However, we also have seen some great imporvement with other methods such as changing domain. How this can help you, have different domain or different TLD with the same name have same site accessible to new domain and use 301 redirect from old domain to new one. Furthermore, do the same , disaovw the toxic links to your site with old and new domain. Do start your link building excerise get some niche links to balance the loss of back links.

        You will see good progress within weeks. We have done this for our many clients.

        I hope this will help. If there is any question do leave your comment. Will get back to you. 🙂

          Hi Shervin,

          It is too complicated to say for sure if a penalty is causing you issues because there is so much that needs to be looked at.

          As a starting point, look over your Google Analytics to see if there has been something obvious happen at any stage. I would then head over to MOZ's Algorithm History to see if any drops in traffic match the date of any algorithm updates. If you see a match, this is your starting point.

          Points to consider:

          • Have you done any link building? If so, was any of it spammy?
          • Is your content unique? Is it amazing? Does it answer the questions that people would ask?
          • How is your user experience? Do you feel that people are arriving at your pages and then just dropping off again? If so, create a free account with HotJar and watch live session recordings to see how visitors are using your site and pages.

          Of course, these are only a few points and there could be many other issues, but it is a starting point for you.

          -Andy
