I made a few “ninja sites” about a year ago. With no “SEO”, they are ranking better that my main site.
I think the reason could be I am over optimizing for a particular keyword and getting a penalty.
This could be the case, however just a thought – rankings also have a tiny bit to do with page popularity too dont they?
So if your page suddenly gets a lot of traffic from the search engine (even if its on a few pages back) the SE may say ‘oh hey this page must be important again coz so many people are clicking on it after searching for XX XX XXXXX’
Long shot, i know. Thats the only constructive theory i could come up with..
