I have to agree with both Glengara's

I'd seriously consider dropping the links to the Pharma, Gambling and link exchange sites, they give the wrong message....

You must be aware that you have a lot of real rubbish links in there, and should not be surprised if Google comes up with an algo that at best disregards daft links, and at worst penalises you for them

And Hutcheson's "don't faint when you see blood on the carpet" post

Why did Google put the site on page one before? It wasn't any intrinsic merit either in the site or in your business ...Google is using a different rule, today. They think it works better than the one they were using before. What it does on any one site (or any million sites!) is too insignificant to matter

We all have to see how the cards fall when the dust finally settles, then get on with the business we have of optimising under the new set of rules ;)
