On 12/01, my small biz site (<10 pages) dropped from pages 1-3 (frequently in the first five listings) for many search terms to pages 13-15 for all of those same terms (and is still buried).

I witnessed almost the exact same thing as you in the first week of December. My site went from top rankings with major keywords, to nowhere (well page 10 and up...).

For the site you have seen your drop with, do you recall engaging in alot of reciprocal links with sites about a year or so ago?
