There is a lot of reasons you can fall out of Google’s listings and sometimes it’s just for a short while. They have a lot of data centers and you will rank differently on each one for whatever reason.
I’m always #1 on one of my keywords and the other day I fell to the second page. I too .. freaked out. Went through all the same things you did and then all of a sudden there I was at the top of the list again.
Well as it turns out the data center close to me was down for a few minutes and who knows what geographical region my search was re-routed to but I’m not #1 there.
I guess, I’m saying…. no need to freak out. Every keyword tends to bounce around a little for one reason or another. Webmaster centrals’ keyword rank is an average.

Hmmm, interesting little saga, shows that you have to be on the ball when it comes to Google. BTW, love your site design.

Well, in this case, my host directly blocked Google bots so there was nothing I could do

Shucks. I had no idea these things could happen. I came into the online business world all rosy and hopeful but now I live in daily fear that some tech problem could ruin my life forever. Sigh. Fortunately I have a very good host… so far
