In the "new index", my site has dropped down 2 pages for keyword1 keyword2 (k1 k2), but is up a little for any 3-word combination that also includes k1 k2 (e.g., k1 k2 k3, k4 k1 k2, k1 k2 k3 k4, etc.). Here is a possible, though (I hope!) unlikely explanation...

Conspiracy theory:

(read with twilight zone music on)

If you check the SERPs for your favorite keywords over and over again (with the toolbar on, of course), then you are obviously trying to optimize for those keywords, and will get penalized for that. Beware, big brother is watching you!
