Point no 1.
In my case I said over a month ago it is to do with anchor text percentages. My top keywords which had the higher percentages got hit, while the anchor text with lower did not.
Point no 2.
I keep a record of all links built with anchors. I check what is indexed in google on a weekly basis. What I have discovered now is that I did have 950 links going to one website, now indexed is around 600. A drop of 350 links thrown out.
So google have made a change on the types of links that it keeps in it's index now which would also contribute to a drop in rankings.
This also correlates to when you try and index links into Google,why it has become tougher, google does not accept those links.
So anchor text percentages altered and less links can certainly equal a drop in rankings.
Check to see how many links are indexed now and before.
Interesting theory, I think its anchor text too
