Guess what?

I sell "widgets" - Good ones at that for very good prices...

I have widget in my url, widget in my metas, links, anchor text and a very "un spammy" amount of widgets in my body text.

I have a "dummy proof" site navigation, quick loading pages, very specific content and links back from dmoz, yahoo and everyone else that matters.

....and I've dissapeared onto the 6th SERP from #2 position.... to have been replaced by a totally off topic site that simply mentions "widget" twice on the index page and then apparently nowhere else?

Why do I deserve to be on the first page? Quite simply because mines the best site, and all my customers have said so themselves.

:(

We're well into the update now and things are looking bleak.

BTW why do I play so much on the "widget" theme? Because thats what I sell, not because I'm trying to trick anyone.
