New more "helpful" internal linking causing SERP & traffic drop?
I saw that video, yes it is a good one. Interesting theory about the new "spam search queries" I can see that might be an issue with some sites, I'm not sure it is with mine. There is something called "pink filter" that I have heard of that if google determines your website to be porn, it will not allow it when safesearch is on. According to theory if I have not been hit by the "pink filter" I am not labeled porn and should not have my rankings dropped. It does look like Google is changing, I'll keep this in mind.

Web traffic tanked, not Penguin nor Panda...I am stumped...
This is am amazing detailed answer. I went through and removed links to the inisignicfia blog entirely. I found some forums I had a signature and removed the sig those on three forums. I took down my entire tumblr. I did a disavow on several domains & subdomanins that "collect" links. Total of over 500 individual links have been removed via webmaster, signature removal, & disavowal tool. I changed/removed anchor text/links on a few other older blogs/forums. Get listed has me as two business, I'll update those so they all match. Citation finder looks amazing I'll dig deeper after lunch. I just added/fixed: Nokia, teleatlas, navteq information I will work on more reviews, (reviews for my clients are a bit tricky due to the nature of my business, but I can get some from my more public clients.) Here is the rel canonical, Is it set up wrong? http://www.bayareaboudoir.com/capture.jpg I fixed the home page anchor text, I'll work on a "logo" I'm not extra concerned about Oakland specific traffic, as my clients come to me from 25 - 200 miles away. I do like the SF page idea... I'll revamp my meta descriptions. your site loads at non-www (bayareaboudoir.com) - this should redirect to www version. not a huge issue, but /index.html should redirect to the main homepage. I'm a little stumped on exactly how to code these? Thanks again
