Tips to Recover your site from EMD update

If your site has any low quality articles ,remove them or no-index those posts immediately.
If there are any articles with less than 300 or 400 words then either remove them or edit those article by adding more words which provides quality info to the readers.Write atleast 700-1000 words articles.

De-index all low quality urls which are indexed in google like archieve pages,Labels,Search Queries etc.You should also check out our Google Panda Recovery Guide.Though its unrelated to Google Panda its wise to follow those rules to stay away from future hits.

Write a reconsideration request to Google Webmaster Team.Must do this.There are cases where Google removed 50% penalty manually on few sites
.
Try to write high quality articles and follow the above mentioned points and wait for a month or two.If your site still not getting good traffic from search engines then I suggest you to move to a new domain and start again with fresh-high quality content.
