    B4 anyone starts flaming/BSing, I'm not looking for "why hate Google - it ain't their fault" type of replies... I'm just venting and looking for some suggestions...

    I'm not a total noob to SEO but I ain't all that either... I've been on Google's 1st page for almost a year now and suddenly I'm on the 5th...

    Keyword:
    free iphone
    Code (markup):
    Site:
    http://www.thefreeiphoneblog.com
    Code (markup):
    Recent Changes:

    A big stumble campaign, added 2 additional links to the friends list, and a medium directory submission campaign...

    My question:
    Which one of my changes above do you think caused the drop in SERPs and what can I do to get it back?

    Thanks in advance...

    Just checked on Google and your website shows up on Page 7 (position 64) of search results for "free iphone".

    also load your page of words related the the keywords you want to get searches for and utilize the h1 tags and other headings.

    my guess is the directory submission. my advice with directories is to tread with caution. Google absolutely hates them
