Just like many of us, my sites got hit this past couple of weeks. Not all of them, but sitting on 30+ sites that got hurt badly, I mean pushed way back.
I was afraid to build additional links, guessing that is the state of mind these days. I was afraid to build a single link to these sites.
My plan:
1. On site optimization
I went into each and every site and adjusted: keyword density ( now at 1% or less), removed keywords from article titles, removed keywords from categories, removed keywords from tags, removed tag cloud
2. Off site
I created 70 web 2.0 properties using different tools
I blasted these properties with 10-20,000 wikis
I blasted the wikis with 1,000+ bookmarks
I blasted 30 edu links to main site this time
3. Waited
At first, I tried this on 3 sites. These 3 sites had easy, medium and hard competition.
Guess what?
an average of 2 weeks later( some in under 1 week), they all came back
As far as anchor texts used: 30% keywords and the rest call to action keywords ( aka: "call us", "contact us"...)
Just need to be organized and keep up with the plan. The results are there, back on track now with 80% of the sites that got hit.
Good luck
