Google doesnt like my site any more - what's wrong

[Catfish]

This site www.poker-coaching.net (German version) and www.poker-coaching.net/xlang/ (English/multilingual version) is my oldest site (started 2005 if I remember correctly) used to have 40-50 uniques per day, now all articles have dropped out of the SERPS since a few weeks. Added a lot of content lately, site now has app. 100 German pages, plus 75 pages translated to four languages, so total 400 pages.

Checked for broken links and redirected them. 70% of the pages are indexed. Not sure whether it's a Panda related problem, at least I can't find any other reason. Maybe G considers some of the new articles "redundant" or spammy?

Can you narrow the time frame? I think there may have been a Panda tweak around the end of October but no one is talking. The last publicly confirmed Panda tweak occured on October 13/14.

The site took a sharp fall between October 14th and 16th

It would be panda related - Panda 2.5 was rolled out on Oct 13/14. No one is talking because no one has any idea what is going on at the moment, and if anyone seriously did they definitely wouldn't be discussing it publicly. A lot of what is being speculated about panda is exactly that pure speculation. I think I have evidence to disprove pretty much everything that has been said to help recover from it.

It takes time to see what the long term effects of a Panda update will be. It sounds like your site was definitely affected by this recent update. Your rankings will probably recover by themselves. It usually takes Google a while to sort out the proper results after an update. It doesn't sound like you were hit with a penalty because of the date this happened to you. Hope your site recovers soon and that the big G is kind to you

Thanks for the opinions, guys. It does look very much like Panda. Anyway, I'll go through the content to try and fix potential issues. Had some articles written where the writer didn't vary the CTA's as much as I would have liked him to. Might be one reason why I was hit.

[pokeraussie]

Doubt that's the problem. I have sites with the same CTA on every page that have been unaffected.

Just a simple suggestion,

Your breaking Poker News is 6 months old! PS, FT and AB/UB Domains seized?

Maybe try a newer news article? Try adding some updates with dates attached.

Google wants to see Fresh content.

I am far from an expert, but I noticed these immediately.
