Hi,

Are you 100% sure it was the recent algo that affected you ?

The Penguin update was released on May 22 - did you lose a lot of rankings site wide starting with this date ? In the same day in UK there was also the Domain Crowding update rolled out.

Your visibility so far is looking good:

In a few days you can see if you lost domain wide rankings.

What I am saying is that you need to be sure if you got affected and by what in order to fight that  . As if you didn't get hit by Penguin you will go after this link hunt and spend resources for nothing.

I would suggest to make sure what did affected you and what is the damage - based on that you can outline the strategy.

Getting back to your questions:

Other than the Disavow tools and manually contacting people to take down the links is there anything else we can do?

** No - if it's (the issue) related with links.

Is it worth going through the content, meta data and other 'on page factors'?

** Only if you have really bad spamy issues on page - based on a first overview you don't. (unless you are hiding it very good

Hope it helps.

Cheers.

Using Open Site Explorer, it looks like the keywords "Car Insurance" and "Compare Car Insurance" were heavily used as anchor texts.

You might want to get a more versatile backlink profile (I'd do that).

Analyzing your backlinks revealed that many of then come from press releases. You can also try to mix things better.
