Website ranking dropped due to penguin 2.1. Please suggest solution.

[lennondevid]

My website's ranking is down for all my keywords after Penguin 2.1. We are not doing any link building now. Please suggest some solution. Your suggestion will be appreciated.

- Before Penguin 2.1 some or our keywords are on page 1 in search results in google.com.
- Now ranking dropped up to 15th page.
- It was a sudden drop in keywords after penguin 2.1 released.
- Website lose ranking on all long tail keywords for all the WebPages.
- Link building techniques we have followed Press release, Blog post, Forum post, Article submission, Blog comment, classified submission, link wheel and social bookmarking.
- We have affected by penguin 2.0 previously but it was no major drop in ranking at that time.
- To get our ranking back we have collected all the low quality backlinks and sent them to disavow tool. Also we have stopped link building using above techniques.
- We have changed our theme of website and added some new WebPages before releasing penguin 2.1. We have our website on Wordpress platform.

To get our ranking back we have collected all the low quality backlinks and sent them to disavow tool. Also we have stopped link building using above techniques.

It is not just "low quality" you needed to collect, but also all that can be seen by Google as being manipulative. Then you will need to wait for disavow file to get processed and most likely for the penguin to re-run.

Whilst your ranking may improve as a result of this, you may not recover your ranking to where it was if links that you have disavowed were propping your site before.

We have changed our theme of website and added some new WebPages before releasing penguin 2.1. We have our website on Wordpress platform

If the change of theme did not change the Information Architecture of the site (i.e. there were no changes such as moving from "ordinary" menus to hover menus, adding widgets with many links or similar) and your theme move was executed with no errors, then this should not really impact your ranking. As your drop happened after Penguin 2.1 then it is more likely you were hit by Penguin rather than having an issue with Wordpress theme move.

Exactly as aakk9999 just said. Also, the solution would be to stop doing seo like it was 2002. It still does not fail to amaze me that people still see methods such as forum and blog posts (I.e auto generated spam) and honestly expect not only results, but maintained results.
Good luck with the Site and welcome to the forums.

Thanks aakk9999 and Shai for your suggestion.

It is not just "low quality" you needed to collect, but also all that can be seen by Google as being manipulative. Then you will need to wait for disavow file to get processed and most likely for the penguin to re-run.

Means we have to wait for next penguin update to get our keyword ranking back.

Yes you are right Shai but we have already stopped following those techniques.

For this website, did you checked internal links of your site? may be your site having more number of internal links with the same keywords. So that is also a reason for the drop.

One more thing I forgot to mention that my website have orphan pages nearly 50. So could it affect keyword ranking?

I doubt it.
