Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Sorry to sound harsh, but (a) did you read my question in full, and (b) is this a cut and paste answer? Because it's not really very helpful.

I said that my site lost 80% of its traffic over the weekend of 27-29 September 2012. This means it's either Panda or EMD. It's not EMD (or if it is, it's a pretty unfair EMD penalty on a site with around 100 quality posts.

I said that I received no warnings or notices from Google and that I have checked every single post and page on the site for duplicate content using Copyscape. I also said Google has confirmed no manual penalty.

There is no list of Panda triggers "above", unless you are referring to my own checklist of the things I've already looked at.

Almost all my posts are long and detailed (many over 1000 words). The shortest post on my site would be 150 words. I run minimal advertising, and no more than one ad on any page or post. I don't have subscribe forms or internal banners.

I get that you appear to be from an SEO company and I appreciate you are trying to help me, really I do. And I thank you for taking the time. But I have heard all this before, over and over, on other forums. I am posting here because I desperately need expert help. I have been working on recovery for two months now and have done everything anyone has ever suggested to try to recover my site. I'm near the end of the process (I hope), not at the beginning.

It depends on your wordpress theme. Some themes use a complicated method of displaying the meta description and Yoast SEO will tell you there are multiple description tags. It will offer to try to fix it automatically which works in some themes and breaks others. It's best to have some professional help available in case it messes up your template.

Don't mean to distract from Paul's issues, but Marie I have to take issue with your Panda analysis. One of my websites was also hit hard by Panda over 27-29 September. It is NOT an EMD site, by the most common interpretations, so it can only be Panda.

The site has 130 pages of mostly very well-written content, tight on topic, targeting long-tail search phrases. So it does not fall into the "very little crawlable text" category.

The site has no duplicated content. I have run Copyscape across every page of the site and nothing more than about 3-4% duplication. It may be that the internal tag linking structure, or pointer domains, give Google an impression of duplicate content, but SEOMoz says my canonical structures are good.

There are virtually no spelling or grammar mistakes on the site, unless Google cannot handle international spelling. I am a writer by profession.

There are very few ads on the site at all. Certainly not to the level Google describes in its Panda rules.

So why was my site hit by Panda? And what can I do to recover? I am currently working through every single SEOMoz Pro report and checking the site page by page using the analysis tools, but what I am coming up with is really marginal.

The only things I can imagine could have been of concern to Google were (1) I had some scraped affiliate content on the site - hotels by location; (2) I had a decommissioned URL with a lot of indexed posts pointed at my domain; and (3) I had a lot of 404 errors due to a major change in permalink structure. (1) and (2) were corrected weeks before Panda and (3) has also been corrected.

I understand there has already been a Panda refresh since September and it made no difference at all. I had no messages from Google and they have confirmed (through a reconsideration request) that no manual penalty has been applied. All URLs are still indexed on Google, but appear around pages 45-50 of the results. I still get a trickle of Google search traffic, but overall it's down 85-90%.

URL is traveltipsthailand DOT com if anyone cars to check it out and give me their thoughts. Maybe Paul can also learn from what I am doing.

I am trying to resolve a number of 4XX (Client Error) issues noted in my campaign report, but I have no idea where they are originating. All I get is the broken link, the status code, the page authority and the number of linking root domains.

How do I identify where the erroring link originates? Is it coming from within my website, or from an external website? I have gone through my site in great detail looking for these links, but can't find any evidence of them. I also use a broken link detection plugin and it reports no problems whatsoever.

Is there a way I can drill down into these 404 links and get more detail about where they are coming from?
