Hey guys my site wintheuklottery.com was ranking about 21-30 for national lottery and many other keys and now its gone. Was there for about 3 months but I'm guessing I've hit some sort of google penalty. Any idea what it is by looking at the site or how to fix it?
For one, you should put a 301 redirect from this page www.wintheuklottery.com/lottory.html This page shows up 2nd when I search for site:www.wintheuklottery.com but the page does not exist. They may have also penalized you due to the crosslinking between your own sites, which seems to have been removed already. Overall the site looks pretty spammy though. So one of these things may have triggered a manual review which you didn't pass.
Thanks yeh I was thinking the crosslinking was a problem along with the lottory page hence why i removed most of it. Gonna play the waiting game for now methinks
Do you use Webmaster Tools or Analytics? I see you have an XML sitemap, is that submitted to Google? Some people have been complaining about their rankings dropping significantly since uploading a sitemap and using Analytics
