Google Filtering Help

[softzsolutions]

One of my client's website is ranked #1 and 2 on yahoo and used to be ranked #1 and 2 on Google Then one day, all top ranking just completely disappeared from google. Someone told him to try and do the search terms on google but add "-asdf -asdf -asdf -asdf -asdf" to the search. Low and behold, the seach returned the old rankings. I have been advised that this indicates that google is filtering out my website.
If anyone is familiar with this story and knows how to stop google penalizing my client website

I am on a dial up connection and its hard work doing this...so did not look too closely at site - i can't help but think that they are involved in some dodgey link exchange schemes and could be hurting them.
Look at where all the links are coming from:

They are all "link exchanges", appear to bo off-theme and I can't help think there are some FFA's & links farms in there... sorry cause of this dial up connection .... can't look further - I will be here forever...

softzsolutions,

Your client already has a PR3 - Only God knows why - There is no "keyword" metatag on the index page!.

Get rid of the repetitive "subject" and "abstract" metatags - They do not help - beyond the "Description" metatag!

Hope this helps,
Ken

Thanks Every one for your help,

But can any one throw light as what he is meaning by the google filtering "-asdf - asdf" with keywords. In fact I made a test and it seems the results are not varying after inclusion of those irrevalent terms
