    Hi all,

    I have a 3 month old site, which was on page 3 for a popular keyword (bids are around $0.60 - $1.20 in adwords!).

    I had adwords campaign for the first 1 month- but it complained site quality was poor, so i stopped ads after 1st month and used yahoo!SM and adcenter.

    3weeks back my site was up into page3 for over a week. I resumed my adwords, so that i get some good traffic as this time quality was shown as Great in adwords. But
    from that day my SERPS dropped by 50-75 position a day. It was in 350 odd. I stopped the adwords after a week - it started moving up again, and it
    came from 350 to 80 in 3 days.

    Just to test, I started adwords again on Thursday and SERP was down in 310 on end of Friday :(.

    Has anyone here had similar experience? I thought adwords and serps were totaly unrelated.

    Does google wants to make sites use adwords who has good conversion rate and dont give them SERP positions?
