Post for last three years not visible in google search

[simplygoodmedia]

Hi, just posted this on google webmaster, and thought I'd post it here for ideas as well:

When using the search term site:www.thebudgetfashionista.com with the exception of the homepage the only results that come up are from three years ago.

We are not sure whats going on, but other symptoms include:
A drastic reduction of our crawl rate (via google webmaster)
A reduction in traffic from google searches (via analytics)
We first noticed it after a pronouced downward trend after the most recent agolrithm was released

Recent activities include:
Fixing crawl errors in GW with 301 redirects
Optimizing older URLs and creating redirects for those.

Any hints of suggestion of what might be the problem what greatly be appreciated

How unique is your content? I took a couple of posts at random and searched the text in quotes and a lot of other sites with the exact same content appear;

Although your site appears in the search engines for these long exact match phrases - a rather large number of other sites appear too.

If you are only copying snippets out from other sites and publishing it as-is with little or no unique content - your pages generally won't rank for very long.

Hi Kathryn,

I see there are now some more recent blog posts in the index, including from this month. Were you able to figure out why there was this reduction? Did you make changes, or did things just start reappearing on their own? The dates on most of the items in the index look older, but there are at least a few newer items in the index now. Is there anything you'd like us to take a fresh look at?

I had a look at a random page: http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archive/ugg-boot-cleaning/ and what I see is a link to an internal page, link to CJ and adsense... if I was a googlebot I would also have some content that I'm not smart enough to deal with yet bit it has definitely triggered the new algo. Try Improving the content quality by including references to other materials, for example if you make a statement or claim link to the source of that information and reference it at the bottom. Pages that are created to make money via adsense/aff programs usually try to hog all the pagerank to themselves. Do a test and see how it goes. Post it back here so we know

Good luck!
