            Making money on #5 is better than not making money on #1

                It happens... did you completely change the content or just add new content?

                  So your site was #1 and not making any money?

                  Google did you a favor by lowering your bandwidth costs.

                    How long has it been since you changed the content?

                    I've had similar situations where I've changed content and Google drops me for 7-21 days and then I'm back up again.

                    Maybe just give it some time and you'll be back up to #1.

                          of course google can lower your site if you change the theme / content... this is NOT weird...

                          never change a winning team... but since the nr 1 rank was not making you money... no harm done...

                                    i assume that you havent add links in over a year? and when you changed the theme and content you triggered the google bot.... start adding some links slowly and you will get back..

                                      Don't know about him but I added a single sentence to a page that was number 1 for years, few days later down to number 5. Google likes new content say the SEO gurus, yeah right.

                                              If it was not making any money, why bother trying to resuscitate it?

                                              Concentrate on duplicating your projects that are actually making you money.

                                              Don't get boners over rankings. Get boners over productive traffic.

                                                    Think algorithms. Changing titles, changes algorithm input.

                                                          I had a #1 blog that was regulary updated, but then I added an "addthis" bar to every blog post, and they kicked me a few pages back.
                                                          After a couple of months it's back on the front page but not #1 yet..
