Trying to find the cause of my Google penalty

    Hey all,

    Ever since the beginning of April my Google traffic has been reduced to essentially nothing on my user reviews website. All the content is unique and I do not employ any black hat techniques on the site and I am just trying to figure out what I could be doing wrong.

    It used to rank on the first page for "<company> review" consistently for each review but now the results do not even show up except for a few odd cases such as "livedrive 2011 review".

    Currently I assume it is one of three issues: affiliate links, keyword density, or lack of backlinks (it is a relatively new site). Any additional issues that you can see along with potential solutions to them would be much appreciated.

    I look forward to your responses and truly appreciate it!

    -Jim
