Nonsensical Reasons for being kicked from the top 10

1) Dupe content (this includes others stealing whats yours and putting it on their site)

>>Your competitors put your content on their sites and Google kicks you from the top 10!<<

2) www and non www (same as above check if there is an index / caching of [mysite.com...] and [mysite.com...]

>>Google can not distinguish between www and non www and therefore you get kicked from the top 10!<<

3) Site wide links from others (check your backlink on all search engines if there is a site pointing to you from lots of its pages it can be construed as "bought links")

>>Another site links to you and Google kicks you from the top 10!<<

4) Link pages (if you have pages of outward links make sure they have content not just links)

>>The sites you have linked to change their content and Google kicks you from the top 10<<

5) Unnatural growth (if you are working on content and adding more than 1 page a day google thinks this is unnatural and can kick you for it .. really stupid reason imo but there we are)

>>It is unnatural to be too industrious and therefore Google kicks you from the top 10!<<

6) Site wide change of page structure (if you suddenly change your template site-wide this can kill your site .. i guess this is really a case of design it correctly in the first place)

>>Don’t change your site too radically because Google will kick you from the top 10!<<

7) Server problems (googlebot having trouble usually only happens if you have changed servers recently)

>>Server problems are notorious for Google kicking you from the top 10<<

.... to be continued by others
