A few months ago i launched my site , ranked top ten on a few competitive terms and felt satisfied with the intial breakthrough. Out of sheer curiosity i started using adwords, daily budget being usd 1 - 3. Initially my ad campaigns did not work and i sought advice from this board ... to prevent my campaigns getting on hold . With implementation of the those and some finetuning i started raking up clickthroughs of 5% up from 0.1% . Now all this while my rankings had been stable..As soon as the high CTR's were achieved my rankings got nuked... the site is kw1mykw2.com and now i need to type upto 6 words from my title ( pretty unique) to see myself there. Everything else is fine , PR , pages indexed et al yet something went very wrong with serps.
1-) I do keep a track of when the site is down and googlebot deep visits / PR updates and nothing major was round the corner..other serp holders were all there.
2-) no spamming , unique content, everything on the clear
3-) Site is still new(3 months) hence if rankings were propped up then it should be this way now as well
I have now stopped my adwords campaigns and waiting. Anyone who has faced something similar and came out of the morass may please advise what could help.
thanks

Your new site was most probably given a "new site" boost for a few months. As you say, it was "propped up".
At three months old, it's not really "new" any longer and you've lost that boost.

$1.00 - $3.00 per/day? I heard they don't knock your site down until you start spending $5.00+. ;)
