Link Velocity / Dramatic All Keyword Rank Drop

Hi Ganja, have you seen any movement yet on any of your affiliate sites?

My site is still in a similar ranking situation

No my sites are still in the same situation. I'm starting to get convinced my penalty is not Panda but a result of having too many similar websites selling the same product. I think they are rolling out a lot of different algorithm tweaks lately that some people are mistaking as Panda.

I was thinking along similar lines as I've seen Google has become very good at recognising how many products are on the page and what their names are. For example I've seen extended meta descriptions which have a triple indent of product names and prices below. For this reason I've completely removed every trace of the affiliate feed and cloaked both the affiliate link and the image link. I've also remove the product names and affiliate description. As my products are quite visual (fashion industry) I think image will be enough to get the clicks. Fingers crossed lets see what this change will make!
