Website dropped heavily

Hi,

I have a website which was ranking for 10 keywords on the first page, a few weeks ago they dropped to page 10.

Is there a way to find out why it was dropped? My off page SEO seems fine with a good % of keywords, I've removed all duplicate content from the website but I am not seeing any improvements, only getting worse!

I've looked in webmaster tools as I thought someone mentioned that can assist you but that says the only thing bad on my website is some description links are duplicated (so I will sort them out this weekend).

So does anyone know how I can find out what is effecting my ranks?

My website is not sandboxed as I am still ranked #1 for my name and other low comp keywords.

      Yes, links are varied and naked links are the most used anchors

      what actual date did your traffic drop off? take a look at your Google Analytics profile then cross reference the date with recent algorithm updates.
      Good idea, it happened end of July so I will investigate.

    Build more natural links and take it slowly. Updates the sites content regularly with GOOD and fresh content.

    Exactly, more natural links.And even unusual content makes Google love your site. Google rewards this, as we can see with the following example. Recently I searched after "Mobile Monopoly" just for interest. And Google and his Pengiun delivered immediately high quality results. Ok, they didn't make it to the first page, but not far away. And pages with quite good articles are ranked after these "high quality search results by Google". Or they are dropped into nowhere, as your page.

    It is not the first time, I find those quality results frequently after Google has born it's animals like Panda and Penguin.

    (unfortunately I had to remove the original format and links, otherwise Warrior doesn't allow to post it... if you don't believe it, I can send you the original search results)
