    1. If your website is profitable enough, try to set up SSL - so that you get your domain as a HTTPS instead of the usual HTTP - this is one of Google's new ranking signals and it's quite effective.

    2. What did you change in your website in the period where the ranking dropped?

    3. About the authorship removed - that's normal and all websites got that removed as part of a Google algo update.

      Where did you hear/read this? I believe this is only for sites where login credentials are used and transactions occur. Otherwise, this has no weight on your average site/blog

      No, it's not effective. It's a waste of money and time. No reason to spend any time getting https setup. Atleast not at this point in time.

      You should be more worried about Penguin which has everything to do with your backlink profile.

      Start cleaning up those links. Don't waste your time with the disavow. I mean removing them.

        Yes, I think that the fundamental reason is the bad links, and has been removing a lot of them, disavow too, but I do not see an improvement in the search engines yet.

    This is a good article on HTTPS and SEO, I am not sure it is really worthwhile.
