Back in the day (1998-2001), my mom's happycookers site with about 6,000 cooking products for sale would hit high on Google (type a product name with more than 2 words, and we were highly likely to be the first hit), and we couldn't keep up with the orders rolling in. Then one day, none of her pages except her home page were indexed in Google any longer. The orders mostly dried up. Coincidentally, cooking.com had a big launch right around that time and all of a sudden, out of the blue, their products were showing top positioning. Interestingly, googlebot was still visiting every single page on the site. It just wasn't putting the pages in the search index anymore. Eventually (once we started purchasing adwords) some of our pages started appearing again, but almost never in the #1 position, and usually not even on the first page. We didn't have the money to pay the piper big enough bucks, I guess.
