Too Much of a Good Thing?

Remember what I said in one of my previous tips about not overdoing it with these techniques? It looks like my most recent post about double listings, may have been the straw that broke the Camel's back to use a very outdated expression.

As soon as that post got indexed my Google search ranking got knocked back a couple pegs. I no longer had a number seven front page listing for my main keyword phrase and my double listing which was what the post was about also disappeared. That last one is a bit ironic.

I went back and thinned out the repetition of the keyword phrase and cut down on the bold in all the posts. I'm also hoping a post or two like this without mentioning my main keyword may help to "unspam" the blog a bit.

All my posts are still indexed, they just don't have as much of that magical quality I have been blogging about. I also may be that I was too quick in posting too soon with my heavily optimized content. It also may be that I've already been penalized for having Google in my domain name. There is no way to know for sure, but I'll just wait and see what happens. Google often plays musical databases, so the slap may be temporary.
