Please help. | GordonP2 | 12/04/13 8:41 | This was NOT a nice little note for your web-master, this was Google saying, Hey your back-link profile is made up of crap and paid links. One month later, your stuffed. You have around 22k dodgy back-links. Check your terms with that SEO company |

I suggest you subscribe to http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ - once you see some of the links it's pretty obvious which are crap.

Please help. | Grandmaster Flash | 12/04/13 10:20 | Good advice!Concentrate on the links that are followable (denoted in http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ ) and on ones that use your keyword as anchor text.They're pretty easy to spot.

| Re: Rankings falling drastically after site update and other current events. Please help. | Allstar Rob | 12/04/13 11:07 | Realizing your own stupidity can sometimes be humbling. I would have never purposely done anything even remotely shady to get ahead. Heck, on my site I only use my own photos and will not any stock photos because I want our customers to see EXACTLY |

| Re: Rankings falling drastically after site update and other current events. Please help. | GordonP2 | 12/04/14 10:24 | That is good news, but I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.
