No longer listed in google

Hard to say... the Google gods have some strange magic.

I had a number one spot for a relative decent keyword stay at the #1 spot for months, then all of a sudden it started dropping a few spots with each Google update until it was finally completely buried and never to be seen again. It was a static site that I never changed.

It seems that Google constantly updates and changes their algorithms, so it's really the luck of the draw where you end up in the listings, it can easily change with each Google update.

The biggest factor seems to be backlinks, not quantity, but quality.
