Links To Non-Topic Related Sites?

    I'm trying to figure out why my site lost almost all its Google traffic on May 1st. I had added a link on my site to one of my BANS stores. It was unrelated to the site's topic. Could that link have caused my site to drop off the Google SERPS? It used to be on the first page of many of my keywords....now all that shows up is the main page occasionally for multiple keywords.

    Hi,
    I think you need to track your keywords again and check their popularity with google.possibly you have a links to site that just lost its PR on recent PR update and did you ever purchased traffic online? if yes then google is Intelligent enough to guess and figour out.

    This my my point of view and could be indifferent :)

    No. I never bought traffic. I lost tons of traffic like a lot of others on May 1st. Its pissing me off to the point that I am about ready to /disallow googlebot.

    Sometimes this happens with new sites, how old is your site?
