Damn, I just dropped big time in Google.

    It's so depressing when you are ranked #4 or #5 in Google for a popular search phrase, then you check one day and you suddenly fall off the map almost entirely.

    All three search phrases that I was ranking high for, I have now all but disappeared. :(

    I know it can't be because of anything on my site that is against Google's terms or philosophy. So why does this happen?

    I had been about #5 for 'Nintendo' for years, and on the last update I droped out of the results. Converting to wiki is the only thing I can think of that might of caused it.

    Happend to me too, I was on page one on all search engine, then some how I ended up on page 3, don't know why. At least you learn to try to get traffic from all over the place, don't just depend on one place.

    Sh*t happens, but you can not do anything about that :) Google is the power
