Agreed. My first thought was that you were overly paranoid about the big dogs. But, rather than just throw that out there, I did a quick analysis of your inbound linking with a tool that I have made for my own private use.
The Google Mobile Maps you speak of does not even rank in the top 20 results at Google. Even if Google was pushing you down, they are not pushing themselves up the list.
In order to get on page one of Google's search results for the term "driving directions and maps", you will need a minimum of 81 "google recognized" inbound links to your website, and it helps if those inbound links are optimized for your keywords "driving directions and maps".
You only have 14 "google recognized" inbound links to your website - total.
According to my tool, the
best you can expect to achieve with 14 "google recognized" inbound links for "driving directions and maps" would be position #20 in the search results.
One final note. I would not expect to get many results from a page three placement. By my own rudimentary calculations, 95% of all Google users will type in a new set of search terms
before they click to see the page three search results on a specific keyword set.
