It sounds very likely that you just got caught up in penguin links thing and someone upstream got hammered, as well as you, and that left you with less authority than you had before.
If the penalty has been removed, it means that you've done what was required to fall back within googles webmaster guidelines and if you're still not ranking, then it's time to get back to work networking, creating content that engages customers, networking and creating content that engages customer, and over and over. I mean, if your current content isn't doing it for you you need to strategize on new content that's going to map to your business goals and engage your prospective customers.
You might look at it as starting again from square one and be thankful you're not in the same situation as many others who haven't yet been able to escape the penalty.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply, We had a link spam penalty back in September, but it was revoked several months back. During penalty we lost organic traffic, but since the penalty was removed we haven't seen any improvement to our traffic. Couple people said that we are probably suffering from algo updates like panda. We have got pretty powerful links, updated the content, site structure, removed pages that had similar content or merge them. But still no change in organic traffic. SO I m trying to understand where the problem is , are panda updates the reason for the site not performing well.
I would appreciate any suggestions to improve my site.
Thank you
nick

It would be nice to have you explain why you think you're having panda issues. What's changed in you stats that makes you believe that?

Robots.txt in subfolders and hreflang issues
A client recently rolled out their UK business to the US. They decided to deploy with 2 WordPress installations: UK site - https://www.clientname.com/uk/ - robots.txt location: UK site - https://www.clientname.com/uk/robots.txt

US site - https://www.clientname.com/us/ - robots.txt location: UK site - https://www.clientname.com/us/robots.txt We've had various issues with /us/ pages being indexed in Google UK, and /uk/ pages being indexed in Google US. They have the following hreflang tags across all pages: We changed the x-default page to .com 2 weeks ago (we've tried both /uk/ and /us/ previously). Search Console says there are no hreflang tags at all. Additionally, we have a robots.txt file on each site which has a link to the corresponding sitemap files, but when viewing the robots.txt tester on Search Console, each property shows the robots.txt file for https://www.clientname.com only, even though when you actually navigate to this URL (https://www.clientname.com/robots.txt) you’ll get redirected to either https://www.clientname.com/uk/robots.txt or https://www.clientname.com/us/robots.txt depending on your location. Any suggestions how we can remove UK listings from Google US and vice versa?0 -
Sitelinks Issue - Different Languages
Hey folks, We run different ccTLD's for revolveclothing.com (revolveclothing.es, revolveclothing.com.br, etc. etc.) and they all have their own WMT/Google Console with their own href lang tags etc. The problem is this. https://www.google.fr/#q=revolve+clothing When you look at the sitelinks, you'll see that one of them (sales page) happens to be in Portuguese on the French site. Can anyone investigate and see why?

Panda 2.2 Full Recovery In Action
I have had several new clients come to me after Panda and Panda 2. Lots of audits. The client who had the worst problems, and has since corrected the worst issues based on my audit just bounced back in an epic way, and while it could be a short-term thing, I don't believe that's the case - it's just too big of a jump back - full recovery. I'm curious to find out if anyone sees a similar recovery on your sites. FYI the biggest problems (most of which have been resolved now) include: Content organization - it was a mess of a site Extreme over-use of ads on the page and in the content Topical focus - there was so much going on across every page of the site that confused Google Major site speed issues 5ewacr
