Unsure which penalty I was hit with

Hi all,

With the EMD/Panda/Penguin refreshes happening last week, I am having trouble determining which issue my website is experiencing.

At first I thought it was the EMD update. My site is NOT an EMD, but I lost ranking on many of my pages that had the same url as the keywords I was going after. My main homepage however was still ranking as it was before that rollout.

Then we learned that a Panda refresh happened around the same time. I felt maybe that was my issue instead of the EMD but wasn't 100% sure.

Finally, the Penguin refresh happened. My main page dropped from Position #1 to the second page. Today it sits on the 3rd page for its main keywords.

Isn't one of these penalties site wide? If so, because my homepage is on Page 3, does that mean I am only experiencing 1 of the penalties?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

    go to ahrefs.com and check your backlink diversity of keywords.. That seems to be the #1 cause I see for devaluing a site..If your site is 75% one anchor keyword you will get slammed..
