I have a site I put up and worked on content and things for about 5 months before I started to really SEO it. I bought about 10 links after 7 months of it being up. The domain is 9 months old.

For the past 4 months I have been ranking strongly at #1 for my site slogan, which is just a 2 word keyphrase that nobody really searches for (brings up around 1.1 mill in search results). Now I suddenly dropped to #11.

When I type in my domain name w/o the extension ("MyDomain" without the ".com") I used to always be in the top 3, not I am not even in the top 100.
I used to be on the 1st page of SERPS for a keyword that gave me about 8-15 hits a day and now I am not in the top 100.

What has happened exactly? I am not banned from Google since my site slogan which is a 2-word keyphrase is listed at #11. And I checked at iwebtools to see if I was banned and it said I was not.

:confused:
