Thank you, Mike.
We did see some shuffling with the competition as well.
I will hold off on the disavow and instead stick to freshening content and seeking back links.

Thank you, Mike.

We saw a sudden drop of about 10-12 positions on a couple of core keywords.
We received no messages in Webmaster Tools.
I have been on board only 2 months.
I looked back at the linking profile and there are some spammy things I would never have authorized. Most of it is a couple of years old, although it seems Google is still just starting to "discover" some of the links. There are maybe 15 domains with spammy links to us and each of them have anywhere from 5-20 different links pointing our way.
Should I setup the disavow file for Google?
My concern is I draw attention to this and it may not be the reason we have dropped.
Paul,
Thank you for the help. You have confirmed everything I was thinking.
My homepage has a normal title tag, but when I look in the code I find the developer also added title tags for pop ups within the homepage code. Is this causing an issue with the search engines?
