Freshed down instead of up

We had a relatively new domain hit the SERPS last month after a fresh listing, and it came in with a real zing. After the update it was even better positioned (even though the pagerank dropped a point), and suddenly now the fresh listings have come, it's been relegated (to where I really thought it should be).

The interesting thing is that it seems it was relegated due to freshbot. Anyone else seen something like this?

I had the same thing happen to me after the 3-15 fresh bot update. Sites that I have never heard of bumped me down half a page.

SlyOldDog,

Yes, we had exactly the same thing. A new site that missed the last deep crawl and appeared in the index just before the last update at around no.3 for all it's search terms. After the update it was up to no.1 and now has dropped back a few places in the last couple of days.
Thought it was too good to be true... :)
