About a month ago my site, rohrermfg.com, was demoted in Google's index for the key phrases "post driver" and "post drivers". We used to be on the first page. Do you see any reason why the site would have gotten demoted? 
 
Hi Jay and Lynn,
 
I totally agree that "Content is King" and I also believe that if you have loads of advertising above the fold then you are likely to get justifiably penalized by Google BUT I would not expect to get penalized for having large rotating pictures at the top of the screen.
 
Our out two websites at www.educationquizzes.com and www.jigthings.com have large pictures at the top of the screen because I believe that nowadays this is the best possible way to grab the attention of visitors to a site.  Our SERPS for both sites continue to rise and we certainly have not seen an indication of any form of penalty this year.  Here in the UK my two favourite shopping websites (Marks and Spencer and John Lewis) both adopt the idea of large pictures first and text later.
 
I would be extremely interested to hear other views.  Are you there Michael Wilson?
 
Best wishes, Colin
