What happened: This particular site was added to the google index back in late June. For months it has been no where to be found in google with my keywords even though I do have dozens of nice backlinks for this site. Last Friday I decided that I had given google enough of my cash for this adwords campaign so I deleted it. The site is well listed in Yahoo so I figured the heck with google. However last night my site appeared in the #9 slot for my target keyword phrase on google and holding steady today. Probably just a coincidence but makes me wonder if google monitors/calculates a relationship with new sites, adwords and serp positioning. You know like the site is surpressed from rankings while paying adword campaigns.
Anyone else seen this happen?

I subscribe to the coincidence theory, myself. :)
In my two plus years with AdWords, I've heard of similar instances maybe a dozen or so times - sometimes with the site in the SERPs skyrocketing, and sometimes with it plummeting. Sometimes the site appears for the very first time, and sometimes it disappears for the first time.
I really think it amounts to a numbers game. With roughly 4,285,199,774 pages in the SERPs - and many tens of thousands of advertisers in AdWords, there are bound to be coincidental intersections between the two.
Probably just the Universe's way of keeping life interesting. ;)
