Google Penguin update causing search traffic slowdown

All of my sites start losing traffic after Google Penguin updates, most of the my sites are affiliates sites. Although I have less affiliate links used on my sites, my sites got penalized for using affiliate links. I have been using various plugins to cloak the links which is not good idea to start with.

Steps to get my sites Back on Track after Google Panda and Penguin updates.

1. I have started using Thirsty Affiliates to manage my affiliate links in wordpress, thirsty affiliate is search engine friendly and doesn't make your site look like a spam site.

After using Thirsty Affiliate on my wordpress site, my site start recovering from Google Penguin penalties.

To test out Google Penguin recovery on my site i purchased the Standard Edition of Thirsty Affiliate for $39, after using it for month i have to purchase the Premium Edition - costs $59 , the Premium Edition includes:

  • Free upgrades for life
  • Statistics Addon 
  • Importer Addon
