I've followed suggestions of keyword content in the text and going to google to get the site verified as well as using their tools to check the site. Well, sure enough the site worked its way up to about second when you searched the event name. The original event page they had, which is nothing more than a simple page within another site stayed first, it had been around for a few years.
Well, as of three days ago the site does not show up at all on google using the event name for the search. All other search engines I've tried it is first or second.
There has been no changes to the site outside of adding and deleting sponsor links.
What would cause this? I'm completely frustrated and this thing is happening in a month.

Another question I would ask is: how different is the content on the new site from what's on the original event page?
The original page was just a title, a picture, a brief description, and two links for registration for the event:
-One to a website which provides registration and fee collection services to events such bike rides, marathons triathlons etc.,
-One link a mail-in registration file.
It also had a few more links to websites of organizations which were responsible for orginizing the event.
The new site is dynamic, has a gallery, has a sponsors page, a registration page and a forum, as well as admin capabilities.
The organizations putting together the event have since updated their sites to point to mine regarding the event.
The afore mentioned registration, fee collection website points to my site as well if you find the event there.
This is really making me a little nuts.
