Sorry for long title and possibly placing this in the wrong section.
Question for those of you who are SEO experts. I had a result on the first page of the particular keyword for about 20 months. This afternoon I checked, still result 8 (been moving down lately...) on page 1. I get home 5 hours later and check again. Gone. I go through 20 pages of that keyword and there is nothing. I checked other keywords I commonly receive traffic to that single blog post and they were all where they've been for months.
Is it possible I'm blacklisted or whatever for the keyword? I've done nothing in months, but there are people I know that would be desperate enough to do so.
If my site is blacklisted, how can I tell? Also, what actions would I see having been done that would alert me that my post was blacklisted on that individual keyword? Would I find some backlink building abuse, and if so, what would qualify as backlink abusing that would get me removed.
Any advice, thoughts, or help would be great. You don't even have to be an SEO Expert. Just give your opinion as to what could have happened. I stopped after 20 pages out of sheer boredom. I don't think devouring the results was worth my time anyways.
