Hello guys, I created a CPA website 4 months ago and bought some links for 100$ from this forum and some web 2.0 like from other forums. I ranked on the first page for like 10-15 articles for 2 months and I was doing 6-8$/day with OGAds from shitty articles (content curated) and only a 100$ investment so I was happy with it. I didn't touch it for very long time and I noticed a drop on ranking so I bought some links from SeoClerks ( I know, I know...), didn't see any change for a while. Two weeks ago my website has dropped from being 1-3 on some keywords to 90-100 or even not ranking anymore. What should I do now? My earning are now like 0.5$/day and I want to get it back like before. Should I buy some powerful trusted links to get it back or it won't help?

Remove the last links you bought (either ask the seller to remove them or disavow them), wait about a month or so, if the rankings recover start adding more links slowly - links 1-2 links per week or so. If the ranking however did not recover.. maybe will be easier just to start a new website.
 
May be your site got deindexed in google. Recently my one cpa site got deindexed.

Also, It may be due to recent google update.

A similar thing happened to one of my sites around the same time. A few days ago I updated my content (publish dates), Wordpress, themes, and plugins, and the site has since recovered. I don't know if updating things was what helped, but if I were you I would check to see if your site has any technical issues/outdated software going on. I definitely wouldn't buy links at this point. Try to wait it out a bit longer and see if it bounces back.

But how come I still got some keywords ranking on certain pages? And if it was so how can I be sure of it, is there any way of checking it?

If some keywords are ranking and you see it in Google search, it is not deindexed.

It seems your website is not deindexed. But if you want then you can check it on google by searching site:example.com
 
Congrats bro you're heavily spammed with lots of crappy links (not deindexed) :)
I have the same experience with my 10 sites
 
It could be you have over-optimized your anchors. You can try disvowing the last links you build to see if it will recover.

I think it’s a little bit high accordig to wordpress. Does it really matters that much?

I've found it does personally but depends when/if you changed it really
 
If the backlinks were built artificially, most often, you'd definitely get ranked within the first 1-3 months, as the metrics/link juice being passed from those links would be positively added into your site's authority or ranking for the specific keywords on the SERP.
And when a lengthy algorithm update takes place after the initial 1-3 months, most often the ranking would be adjusted in the process, with spam links or other artificial indicators would be placed into consideration for the SERP ranking, and that could explain why a ranking drop after the initial 1-3 months.
This is most often experienced in churn and burn building techniques - you'd get something ranked fairly well for 1-3 months, and then suddenly notice a drastic drop in ranking after that. In most instances, it's impossible to recover the rank after that, unless if you spent more money pumping real good links that do not seem artificial to your site, real good authority links, and that would be good for the long run instead.
 
So do you guys suggest me to take all the content of this website, delete this website ans create a complete other one?

I would say yes , what you wrote is all you need to do to fix this in my opinion!
 
You have to check your site is deindexed or not. then check all the backlinks which contain spam or not.
 
Honestly, for the amount of traffic you're getting I wouldn't bother with trying to rehabilitate the link profile, probably best to just start from scratch with a new domain.
 
One of my new domain sink down to nowhere. I can't even find it again. I just have to redirect it to sub domain and now I can see them coming up a bit. Even without back link.
