Default Google and Yahoo rankings are terrible!!

My website - www.fortwayneusedautos.com used to be what I concidered "ranked fairly". At one point about one month ago my testing antifreeze page was ranked number three by both yahoo and google under the key words "testing antifreeze", now it can't even be found. Right now I am ranked number 1 with the key words "fort wayne used autos" in yahoo, but can't be found in google using the same key words. I haven't really changed my content since this huge decline in PR. Does anyone have any ideas that could help me out?

Thanks for your time,


Brandon

Actually, I can find your site ranked 3rd on Google for this keyword.

I just did another search through google and I'm not there. Are you sure it was www.fortwayneusedautos.com that came up #3?

Sorry, I used the exact phrase - with commas and thats why I saw your site ranked 3rd.

Well, thanks for checking. I just can't understand why I would be dropped completly from google. If you type in my domain name I only have one page that comes up. Does anyone see anything that would ban me on my site. I sure don't think there is.

thanks,

brandon

You are not dropped completely - use 'site:' query and you will find that there are 10 html pages indexed. If at least one page is seen in the ranks then you are not banned - there may be some kind of penalty however.
It's diffcult to say why your site gets low ranks - especially when it has ranked high as you say.
I think you should get more inbound links as your PR is quite low (it can also mean that your site is going to be spidered less frequently) and try to build more keyword relevant content - these two always help ;-)
