My ranking disappeared

Probably you've been hit by Penguin 3.0

When I look at your anchors it's mostly keywords you like to rank for and Penguin has always been sensitive for that. For the rest a ton of spam which it should also address.

Your best of starting with a new domain and new content I'm afraid.

If you setup a 301 redirect to pass on link juice your penalty will automatically pass on so that's not an option.

Getting the old domain deindexed and moving the site/content to a new domain is also not really an option as it seems Google remembers the content belongs to the old site and thus it will be much harder to rank the new site.

You have 8000+ links so cleaning up doesn't seem like much of an option either though you could do it, just takes an insane amount of time to go through each link to determine whether it should be disavowed or not. Links to get rid of would mostly be complete irrelevant ones.

When you build a link you can chose an anchor text, eg the part between the <a href=""></a> code. You used keywords like "handmade handbags, leather handbags, leather backpacks"etc. most of the time, that doesn't look like a very natural appearing anchor profile so next time you should use more diversity like mixing in generic keywords like: visit site, click here, more info, as well as anchors like full sentences, image anchors, combination of brand + target keyword, names of persons and what not really.

Thanks

Hey,
maybe, i think your site have been hit by penguin 3.0 and panda 4.1 and now, i have to increase a great content for your site and stop build backlink, because if you build backlink that is bad link then can will not good for your site.

Hope to useful
Shin

this could only be a problem for the site if its a reseller and copying content and product details from other site. else Pirate 2.0 is not playing in here.

You haven't been hit by anything, your site backlink profile is weak and you lost some of the links as well. Why would your site be ranking with that kind of weak profile ?.

Do some link-building and your rank should be back. This has nothing to do with penguin or anything of that sort

Thanks mkgg,
You made my day
I am very thankful for providing reason of not to fear now, that i am not penalized.

It would be great if you can help me a little more understanding these things :

1. "Backlink profile is weak" doest it means i have low quality back links or i have not enough back links

2. After reading some comments that may be i was hit by penguin/pirate i ordered a disavow service. where they say that they will filter all the best links and disavow bad links. am i doing correct thing or i need to stop that order ?

thanks for all your valuable time and suggestions

Thanks

my website is www-leatherhandmadebags-com and i have already invested a lot of money into it. please help me how to recover. if experts out here needs any screenshots i can provide.
thanks for all your help

my website is www-leatherhandmadebags-com

You said you dint received any notifications in your Webmaster tool so i don't think you a suffering from a penalty. i checked your site its quite clean and as its an eCommerce site so you have optimized for exact match products that's fare enough to do so . and i do checked your site was cached on 12 OCT 2014 so its definitely not penalized as when a site get penalizes google start d indexing its pages and even if you search you site with the URL it will not come up.

The only problem that i can come up with your site is you might be sand boxed for particular keywords because of access of keyword use, this can be resolved be re analyzing the site meta and after everything is fixed submit the site again for re consideration.

Their Could be n number of factors that can only be detected if more details available.

Thanks Hope you find it helpful

from the reviews i definately concur, but also is about cash that Google will sometimes rank you down for sure if others pay more. But as already mentioned above, i would focus more on the top keywords an build around them more.
