2)Although you still retain the positions you normally check, you might find you no longer show up for minor search strings that you once did.These minor search strings usually make up the bulk of traffic.
yea I'm thinking it maybe some of the smaller search terms.. But I'll give it a day or two to see. I know the name isn't on the way out because I just picked up a few new keywords that are doing ok.

I don't think it's the data center anymore because on several of my main keywords I now have a second page showing in the serps under the main page. (second page covers some of the same keywords)

The site is not spammy at all no black hat stuff, it's 100% legit... site has been online since 2001 with good positions, so I've never had to do any shady stuff to keep it listed well.

So the only thing I can think of is I lost a lot of smaller search terms but kept my bigger ones.
