Google Forgot About Me

I used to get a ton of hits from Google searches. People found this site while searching for things like hung like a horse, Prothro injury pic, cock blog, taking a shit, etc. Yes they're strange search strings, but at least they led potential new readers to The Churning.

Then a couple of days ago, Google stopped sending people in our direction. I don't know what happened. It's like I've fallen off the face of the internet. I did a little digging around and was baffled.

This page used to be ranked number one when searching for The Churning. But now it's buried beneath hundreds of other results. I think it's safe to say that my site should be number one for that string, considering that's the title and 137 other sites link to this page.

I tried a few other searches that used to give me hits and got similar results. Searching for Jack E Brown dancing, Napoleon Dynamite Utah State Fair, or The Rawker no longer leads you to this site. Now I'm starting to feel a little paranoid.

I know the page is still listed, because it shows up when you search for "The Churning" or "www.thechurning.com." My only thought is that Google may think I've cheated. I do link to myself a lot, in the sidebar and within posts that reference older posts. Maybe I've been banned.

Any ideas?
