It is strage, my site is FI are not appearing for my best keywords. It is not banned. It rank well with my other keywords but lost entirely with my Top 5 keywords.

Maybe Google is blocking some site to appear in FI base on certain keywords? Anyone encounter the same?

I say 'googlebomb filter' because, microsoft.com used to rank high with a search with 'go to hell'. Microsoft.com isn't ban and rank well with lots of keywords, except 'go to hell' which is the top keywords. The only way to do this is to have a special keyword filter for certain site.

Just guessing, any chance those keywords were used a lot in anchortexts from guestbooks?

In general I would wait a while before drawing any conclusions.

I see very similar.

I'm ranked amoung top 20 for
"kw1 kw2"
"kw2 kw3"

and nowhere at all for "kw1 kw2 kw3".

On www - it is OK.

For now I suppose fi and sj are not complete indexes, so it will be updated and I think these problems will disappear ...

They are used as anchor text but not in GB even 1. Hopefully what adsoft13 say won't is correct,

I tested my favorite Googlebomb which is "best viewed" on www-fi and as usual the IE home page comes up #1. SO there is no blanket Googlebomb filter.

I am definately seeing something negative going on for excessive anchor text links.

Maybe jumping the gun with this thought?
