Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hopefully.  You may find that you have to either get some of those overoptimized links removed, nofollowed or disavowed in order to see improvement.  It's a tough call though because you have the potential to do more harm than good.

You're very welcome Candice - I've gotten a bunch of inspiration and motivation from this site from other members in the past, so if there's ever a chance to impart the same on someone else, I jump at the chance. I do like the Q&A idea, as it opens you up to being both a service and an educational resource, kind of like the guys at Distilled, with their SEO service but things like their blogs and their DistilledU ideas. So it can and does work. It also gives you a long lasting effect from your social media interactions. All the best going forward, can't wait to see what you can come up with!
