Hi mate,
I think I answered you this one in my thread already

.
BTW, asking for opinion of 10+ different people here will just confuse you, since at the end of the day various people have different approaches to SEO & IM in general, and also run different projects, follow different goals on BHW, etc...
If you want, you can PM me your website (the one that got heavily affected) and once I have some time I can look at it and give you some feedback.
In any case, hope you won't give up on this, and good luck to you down the road!
