    I don't know what social monkee does but If it's links on social sites (Likes, Tweets, etc...), it's not doing anything as far as SEO goes. Also, forget about Alexa, that's only bragging rights, nothing more.

    Is the problem site the link in your sig.?

    Based on the Alexa, it probably is.

    In all honesty, I think that is a good thing and Google got it right. Look at this post: Blog Writing Tips for Effective Professional Blogs - By Jon DawsonLearn How To Properly Market Yourself - who would be happy with that in their search results if looking for info on the topic? Its very poorly written.

    Just type your blog name is Google and if it is not on first page then it it confirmed. You might have also got webmaster message if you have verified your blog in webmaster tools. More details would make task easier to identify what happened exactly.

      Just login to Google Webmaster Tools and check to see if you have a manual penalty assigned to you.

      Under "Search Traffic" -> "Manual Actions" it will say either unnatural inbound links or unnatural outbound links penalty. If it's inbound then you have to clean up your links and depending on the value of the site you might want to consider just starting over.

      If it says "No manual webspam actions found." it means that you triggered an automatic filter. This is usually due to duplicate content, very weak content or very few pages. This is easy to fix. Just add content and get rid of pages that have little or no content on them.

      If you haven't signed up for GWT yet you can today and it will still show you if the site has a manual penalty assigned to it.

    I use social monkee but only for backlinking videos. Never used it on my blog posts. I have heard recently that social monkee has lost its power and not doing your backlinks as good as they used to. Not sure how true this is.

    I think you are better off getting few high page rank backlinks than lots of low page rank. Try making video, uploading to YouTube then put your blog post link in the description. This should help you get backlinks from page rank 3 and should also get your blog indexed by Google again.

    With content like that.
    Google should slap you.

    Checked out your site. Your not slapped. Your site still indexed in Google. Assuming you don't have duplicate content on your site. You may have triggered an over optimization penalty. My diagnosis is based on your back link profile.

    As others have said the backlink profile is quite weak and the content is not very good - repetition, thin pages, keyword stuffing, beginner topics that are done to death, etc.

    The good news is that the pages seem to be indexed, and the problems are something you can fix.

    Do you have any real statistics? Traffic, SERP positions, earnings... Alexa is just for your own vanity, and it's often very inaccurate.

    Time to go remove your bad links that you built when you tried to cheat.

    That's the only way you can recover rankings.

        I'm not exactly expecting these one-line wonders to actually read the damn thread, but there's not a single line that would even indicate a "Google Slap". OP was talking about Alexa! Until we actually have some kind of confirmation from OP you can safely ignore the choir of igronamuses.

          It looks like some one here has gone mad just because ....... not getting... :p OP is also asking about the alexa as well he has also raise an issue regarding the drop in ranking and I think you're ........ to know that Alexa depends on the traffic he/she might me getting !! Which put forward that OP is asking for both of them !! This is really a cheap trick to get thanks from the ............. :p

            I have no idea what you're trying to say in half of your comment. Unfortunately not for the first time... You're thanking me for an unspecified cheap trick? You're welcome, I guess.

            OP asked about Alexa, and was told that Alexa drop doesn't matter. Alexa (as far as I know) get's the data from their toolbar thingy. So for some reason the toolbar-using visitors haven't been on his site lately, or any number of things that could change Alexa's numbers. Alexa is not unreliable per se, but due to the way they collect the data you can't use their numbers to see drop in Google.

            OP said that "alot of my post are dissapering from google", but that's way too vague. If there's no better information on the nature of the drop, there's no basis for the speculation going on in this thread. OP's posts may be dropping from top 100 or to supplemental results due to poor content that's way too close to other similar articles. That's about the content, not about low-value backlinks. And it's not a "slap" but the normal way Google search operates.

            That's my entire point. People are suggesting drastic measures with backlinks when the thread doesn't actually support that notion.

    Opps..... That is just First of all I would say stop using the the cheat tool i.e monkee to build backlinks. And the next step would be cleaning up your bad link profile.

    Is socialadr a good tool for rankings compared to social monkee? I am in conflict to choose one over the other. Please advise people those who have been using the tools..

    Social Monkee is pretty much worthless. I doubt Google pays any attention to those links.

    Focus on building quality backlinks rather than building 1000s of spammy links. A site's backlinks heavily influences its rankings. Also, don't try to "cheat" Google: it always catches up.

    1500 back links is a good number of links, why not ask the site owner to remove the links.. I mean the site you used to acquire those links. Normally these guys have a network of sites and will use a tool to create or delete the links. That seems the best way, sending individual mails to those sites is out of question and I seriously doubt if they will even open up their emails.

    Alternatively you can totally disavow the links using Google Disavow tool. Here is a free guide to penalty recovery FREE E-book
