Confused by this SEO Problem

Would you ladies consider using tinyurl a cloaking strategy that would prevent this from happening? Or does it have to be a php redirect or something similar?

cloak your affiliate link. this honestly sounds like a coincidental manual review, but it could have easily been the affiliate link, so just cloak that sucker and see what happens.

I haven't been diligent in cloaking my links. What's your favorite way to go about doing that, plugins? code?

My personal preference is making a folder called something like 'recommends' or 'urls' and then making a php file that redirects all my links.

Then I just link to mysite.com/recommends/index.php?site=wickedfire

That index.php file contains this code:

<?php
if ($_GET['site'] == 'wickedfire') {
header("Location: http://wickedfire.com/");
}
elseif ($_GET['site'] == 'google') {
header("Location: http://www.google.com");
}

sounds like normal google fluctuations, happens to a lot of sites...keep adding content & links..in a month or 2 or less you should / could be back on top...but considering this is time sensitive as to the release date of the game the big G may have screwed you...o well pick another game

1 or 2 links on a site that aren't cloaked shouldn't make a huge difference but if you have a bunch then ya best to cloak with just a folder & php redirect or if using wordpress there are some plugins like this but i can't vouch for it cuz i just do it manually
