        It looks like you may have been hit by the penguin update.

        According to OSE 1546 linking root domains out of 1634 link to you using the anchor text "reputation management". Looking at a few of those links they look a lot like quite a few of them have come from blog link networks as well.

        So you potentially have either 2 or 3 issues that are causing you an immediate problem:

        1. Over-optimised anchor text
        2. Links that were previously helping you now having no value
        3. (possibly) also a penalty for unnatural linking

        #3 is the most scary, so we'll deal with that first. If the site is set up on webmaster tools log in and check for any messages. If it isn't then get it set up. If you do have a penalty you should have a message. If not then breathe a sigh of relief... for now.

        How you deal with 1&2 is up to you. Have a good read around "penguin" and "poor quality links". There is LOADS written elsewhere about this.

          I agree with Mat. I'm not finding many links that are actually valuable -- certainly being one of 18000 trackbacks on the about page for a cheap cruises site isn't helping you. As an aside, the site is a little confusing to users. It is on reputationmanagements.com yet says to email reputationrhino.com and is branded reputation rhino.

          Do check out Google Webmaster Tools and see if you have any messages there.
