I have recently been slapped by google for guidelines violations on a blog i run. i need a seo expert who can look at my site, code, content, design, etc, and find and fix the violations so the site can be resubmitted to google. The site is small with less than 30 articles.
We have done exactly the same thing with 2 Travel Portals. From the first page, they got thrown to the 45th page and we got them back again on 1st. Absolutely no Black Hat/ Paul and Angela techniques used. Content is King!
