      Dear friends,

      On 3rd of May, i suffered a Manual google unnatural outbound link penalty. I recovered from the said penalty on 27th of June.

      However, i have noticed that my traffic has been dropping since 23rd April. I am confused where to target my work. Should i work on thin content and is it an algorithmic Panda problem (but my keywords are still ranking good) or is it a Penguin problem (I had 6 domains with payday loans backlinks and i have dosavowed 32 backlinks recently)

      What should be my plan of action here and what would you recommend? An image is attached herewith for your reference,

        Hey

        I think replied to your other post but I can chip in here a little as well.

        Firstly I would try to understand where these drops are happening. You mention that you are still ranking well for some of the main keywords so what is losing traction?

        Review the periods after each drop and then compare to the previous period in analytics. Work through the various reports and you can determine what pages / sections of the site are losing traffic. You can then get an idea of what is likely the problem and formulate a plan to resolve it.

        The first step here is always to gather as much information as possible on where exactly you are losing traffic and then perform a review to understand what the problem is and even if this was solid, well converting traffic in the first place.

        Hope that helps
        Marcus
