      We were getting good amount of traffic but suddenly we saw a major drop in traffic we were unable to find the reason, recently our website was attacked by malware we cleaned & applied to Google since then we see our organic traffic Ups & Downs

      What is the grace period for the Sites that are affected by Malware for Google to get back our traffic back & increase the organic things

      our website www.mdhil.com is healthcare information Based website where the content is created by our experts after the Malware attack there was a major drop & now its up & downs

      Is there any chances if the website content comes under low quality content is yes how to find the same

        If you have removed the malware, ask for reconsideration and wait, there is no reason why you will not get bnack to where you were

              Depending on the pagerank of your site, it should take at most a couple weeks to a couple months before Google re-crawls the entire site and notices that the malware is gone.  If it's been longer than that, then likely something else is the cause.

              Rankings and traffic fluctuate all the time, so first of all don't panic.

              If you think about it, there are only 3 things that can affect your site's rankings: the content on your site, the links to your page, and google's changing algorithm.  So ask yourself, has anything on your site changed?  Have you lost any links lately, or have your competitors gained more links?  Has there been an algorithm change that affected your site?

              If it's an onsite issue, then fix the issue and focus on building more good content.  If the issue is links or an algo change, focus on building more links.
