      My website which was launched back in September 2013, after a few months it was ranking second page for some of the most competitive keywords. It was all because of some good quality guest posts from PostJoint. After a few months, the website was ranking on 16th page of Google, then 20th page, then 25th and now nowhere!! I agree that majority of the guest postings of PostJoint were blakchat. For this reason I have now disavowed all domains where I had guest posting done from PostJoint.

      My questions:

      1. Is my website affected by Penguin, Panda etc? (There was no manual penalty though)
      2. My website is nowhere even for "My Company Name", this is a shame, I have to run a PPC campaign in order to get the traffic where visitors were typing our company name in Google.
      3. What are the remedies? I can't afford to start a new domain, because the domain has been advertised heavily (offline marketing etc).

      Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks in advance!

        If you search site:domain.com in Google do you show up? Do you show up in Bing?

        First step is making sure you're still indexed, and it's not something where there's accidentally a robots.txt involved.

        Anything of interest in Google Webmaster Tools?

          Hi Keri,

          Many Thanks for the response, Yes the website is indexed and I can see the pages indexed in Google and also if I search for "mycompany" without spaces it appears right at the top, but the problem is why its not coming up with spaces?

            Has your traffic also dropped? Are you searching in an incognito browser, to try to minimize any personalization?

            Without knowing your URL, it's a little difficult to diagnose.
