why they are penalising my site?
You have a whole host of issues Heimdall, any one of which may have drawn a penalty.
1. Duplicate title tags
2. Duplicate descriptions
3. Tons of OPR’s from reddit, digg, del.icio.us (object permanently removed) – there are 1000’s of OPR’s. This is probably dues to #6
4. You changed your site from html to php but haven’t used 301’s
5. Have you canonicalised the URL’s?
6. You internal navigation is causing robots to loop endlessly (unless you have over 4000 pages (which is where it was when I stopped)
7. Severe duplication of anchor text inside and outside the website (cap and dashes will not differentiate the keyword phrases) – You actually SHOULD be #1 for the phrase you mentioned. How many people actually search that? – So its definitely a penalty – but it could be one, several, all or none of the above, but its a good place to start. You still have your history with Google and it may spill over despite being 6 weeks out.
This took about 10 minutes. I really haven’t dove into the site. It wouldn’t make sense to at this point until these issues are fixed…otherwise everything becomes clouded.
Good job on the nofollows, but you should spend a little more time building a site-link tree and taking advantage of this technique. As it stands it looks as if you have built a site with a spread sheet and php with a few tweaks here and there. The tweaks, cross-navigational elements and duplication of tags has totally diluted your SERP positions and from what you say it happened during a time that coincides with an update, so no surprise.
No easy fix here…and only the beginning.
Good Luck
