Traffic drop since April 2013 massive Wordpress attack
- SEO |
My site is experiencing a traffic drop since april 2013, the date matches with the massive botnet atack against wordpress that took place in that month:

I have detected at least 8 spammy/hacked sites pointing links to me from scraped posts published in April 2013.
I made a disavow several weeks ago but nothing happens, the traffic keeps droping. Is there a way to know if my site is infected in some way so that's the reason of the penalty? My code is clean and ther is no spammy outgoing links from my site, so I'm quite sure I am not hacked...
Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.
What's your excuse?
