eyepaq,
Thanks a lot for your time on studying my site and for your input on this matter.
I have never received a message from Google about spam issues on this site and I just checked the "manual" section and it's empty. I'm afraid it could have been hacked as you stated above, I will need to audit all my link profile.
Cheers 
eyepaq,
Thanks for the tip, I am leaving some information plus the URL for anybody to comment and advice on it but if any of you guys know of a good SEO company please share.
URL: www.woodlandsnewhomes.com
Look at image attached, it is a screenshot from Google Analytics, it took a hit on July 5, 2012 and since then traffic dropped by 54%.
This site was getting 700 to 800 organic visits per day and on July 5, 2012 dropped to 419 but kept dropping and now the site averages 220 to 300 visits per day.
Cheers
I am looking to have an SEO specialist to audit and do consultation on one of my sites. This website never received a penalty from Google but was hit algorithmically and I need to bring it back up strong on the serps.
Who do you recommend from the "recommended list" from MOZ?
Cheers
Michael,
Yes, that's what I have in mind, maybe I didn't explain it well but that exactly the idea ...I am just not so sure how to 301 redirect the main domain, I will discuss with my programmer the code you provided on your answer.

I am merging 11 real estate community sites into 1 regional site and don't really know what type of redirect should I use for the homepage?, for instance:
www.homepage.com redirect to www.regionalsite.com/community-page
Should I 301 this redirect? If yes, how could I 301 redirect a homepage to an internal page in my new site?
Cheers
Hopefully it is the first option ...thanks for your input!

Hello,
I don't quite understand your question, if you are adding more category pages, you should have more pages instead of less, just make sure to 301 redirect every single old page and you shouldn't have a problem.
I had to do something similar to one of my sites like 3 months ago and I did loose pagerank on some pages but ranking got better so I wouldn't worry much about pagerank.
Cheers
Hello,
I've been working on removing some sitewide links and some directory links and I would like to know what to expect to see on my rankings based on your own experience if you've dealt with this before.
Cheers
I'm a little confused about c-blocks, I've been reading about them but I still don't get it.

You can request for a fetch by logging in to your Google Webmaster Tools account, select your site and the "fetch as Google" tool is on the left sidebar under the "Crawl" category.
There's a limit of 500 fetches per month and I think up to 10 submissions.

I use Chrome in "incognito mode", it works okay.

I've got 4 sites in my Moz account but I haven't received duplicate emails, so all good on my end.

It is very important to submit your website to Google so that it can index all of your pages.
First, check if your site is being crawled by Google bot and you can do this using the Google Webmaster Tools, I suggest you become familiar with these tools.
Second, check how many pages are in Google's index by typing in the Google's search box the following:
site:www.yourdomain.com (replace "yourdomain" with your domain name)
Third, get a sitemap ...there are many tools to generate XML format sitemaps, check with a programmer to find a solution and generate this sitemap automatically as you add more pages to your website.
In my opinion, there's no need to submit many times your website to Google, just check the crawl rate and you should be fine.
Cheers
