Need advanced SEO help!

Hi guys,
This is my last attempt to work out what is up with this site before it goes to the big Flipper in the sky (and even then I doubt it will make much more than £1!)
This site was a successful site, then one day Google decided it didnt like it, and I have not had much joy with it for nearly a year now. I must admit I tried to forget about it for a while, but it has always been a thorn in my side due to the fact it used to be a nice little earner.
I have SEOmoz crawled it and I cant find any issues that would cause such a severe penalty, I removed many of the affiliate links, clocked the rest of the affiliate links and tried numurous other ideas, but now, as a last ditch attempt I am looking for some help!
I tried to avoid the typical thin affiliate site by adding relevant content, but I have seen sites with much poorer design and content rank higher than this one.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks in advance

You've not got that much in terms of link diversity, or from much that's relevant. Directories, blogs and forums, links pages, etc... that don't pass a lot of value. 11 Linking Root Domains, including directories, some are nofollow. Not a lot in terms of quality links. And then your anchor text needs a little more diversity too: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.nintendowiifitconsole.co.uk%252F/a!anchors
Google will often let a new site rank well for a bit before knocking it back down again.
Also, my personal belief is that Google's not all that keen on affiliate sites anyway... I lost rankings on mine from Panda.
I reckon all in all, if you get some more, higher quality links... and as it appears now some social signals too, then you'll start ranking much better

You are being displaced by sites with much stronger domain authority. Yours is 22 and you are competing against sites with 60+.
You need more links from strong sites. You only have 19 linking root domains compared to sites having thousands.
I would also start using social networking by including Facebook LIKE and ShareThis on each product.
All that I would say is that much stronger sites have come into the market and pushed you down.
a) Work on on-page optimization to ensure keywords are optimized
b) build strong inbound links
c) get your social on

P.s I also used to rank for 'Nintendo wii fit console' (my domain name) & 'my personal golf trainer' at the top, but now I give up searching past page 10 for it.
-
It is indexed, but for example, I used to be on the top of page one for the term 'red wii console' and it would go to the designated red wii page, but now I am on page 8 with a page that has nothing to do with the red wii?!
-
I thought maybe that, but there are no warnings anywhere, plus I have another site with a brand name in it which does fine!
-
I'm wondering if there is an issue with the fact that you are using brand names/trademarks in your url?
Do you have any warnings in your webmaster tools?
-
What does Google not like? It is indexed by Google. Are you not ranking for terms? Which ones?

1 - Call To Action - Static to a landing page
10 Calculators - Static - These calculators I think are very useful to our users (financial website). So in total 17 total sidebar links, 11 static links, and 6 which change based on the content of the page. Do you think these static links from an SEO perspective can be hurting us? Is there some sort of best practice for sidebar links in regards to quantity as well as static vs non-static? Thanks!0 -

Domain redirect seo
Hello, my domain www.pacomarca.com and when i start the new campaing i get this pronblem: We have detected that the domain www.pacomarca.com and the domain pacomarca.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here. my domain is in networksolutions.com. how can i resolve it? many thanks Gonzalo

Video Sitemaps - Clarification Needed
I'm trying to make sense of video sitemaps so I can get one up and going but the set up seems unclear. We currently have 7 videos created and up on Youtube. I've got them embedded on the site to a "Video" landing page as well as having these product demo videos embedded on appropriate product detail pages. So when setting up the video sitemap it looks like I'll be using the video:player_loctag as opposed to video:content_locbecause I'm not linking to the file itself but rather a page it's hosted on. Correct? Additionally I'm adding the product detail page url here, not Youtube right? Lastly, do I need to insert an autoplay piece on the videos on the product detail page? I feel that would be an annoying user experience.</video:content_loc></video:player_loc> So part of my sitemap might look like this... <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=[?]">http://website/ProductDetailURL</video:player_loc>
