Google made all worse!

[firstrebel]

We were always high on page 1 of any Google search relating to Volvo cars, but now we are nowhere. The strange thing is that this happened exactly on May 1. We're OK on Yahoo and our Alexa rating is still around 108,000.

I visit a couple of ecommerce support sites and some owners of online commerce are pulling their hair out as their sales have dropped drastically.

Does anyone know what exactly has changed to cause this. What is Google now looking for to get high positions?

This makes worrying reading. I have dynamic text ad links in the footer file for all our 1000's of pages, and having read this I am wondering if this is what Google does not now like on our site. With a revenue of ?300pcm from this I have to make a decision.
