Megamenu Google penalization

Category: Google, SEOpaomic @ 3:19 pm

I had a website about Umbria (a region of Italy). It ranked well for tourism-related keywords and had a good number of daily visits. Suddently, visit dropped to 1/10, and they continued to drop. Of course, I mean visits from Google. After some searching and talks with friends, I tought it could be a megamenu penalization. This penalization usually happens when you have large menus shared by all the website pages. I tried to remove the menu, making it different for different cities in the reagion, and after a cuople of days the visits went back (almost) to their original status. Did you ever have a similar penalization?
