RE: What causes the reduction in traffic?
I am working on that. What am not sure if I should take in consideration the links published on WMT or from Open Site Explorer?

RE: What causes the reduction in traffic?
Hello Jason,
thank you for your answer.
I finished analizing the qualitiy of my link profile, based on this great article http://www.seomoz.org/blog/anchor-text-distribution-avoiding-over-optimization, and I see that, not only I have a Targeted 71.16% vs Non Targeted 28.84% distribution, but the Exact Match anchor text represents the 66.51% of the targeted links, having a Variance from Normal of 48.46%.
The new question is: should I reduce the targeted anchor text percentage by removing some targeted links or better add new links for non targeted anchor texts?

What causes the reduction in traffic?
On FEB 2012 I got the now-famous notice from Google about the unnatural links. I contacted the SEO company who worked for my website and removed the inbound links. I submitted the reconsideration request and Google said that there are still unnatural links. I dig more on my links and continue to remove the links I think Google does not like. I again submitted the reconsideration request and they responded “we still see links to your site that violate our quality guidelines.”.
When I compared the non-paid traffic month by month, starting on March, I see these fluctuations:
March compared with Feb -16%
April compared with March -18%
May compared with April +13%
Jun compared with May -10%
July compared with June +10%
August compared with July -10%
September compared with August -12%
October compared with September-29%
Also, If I look into the index stats on my WMT, I see that on October I have 50% less pages indexed compared with July. It has been dropping between 10% and 15% each week, as follows:

The rankings for the 3 top keywords went (starting on April)
From 5 to 15
From 8 to 27
From 5 to 39
At this point, I am not sure what causes the reduction in traffic.

The evil-eye-kabbalah.com is our blog. What is wrong with that?

On FEB I got a message on my Google Webmaster Tools saying "Google Webmaster Tools notice of detected unnatural links to http://www.loveandlucky.com/"
How can I know what inbound links Google considered as unnatural?
