Default Penalized on one keyword only?

Anyone know if it is possible for google to penalize you for one keyword? I don't rank at all, but I used to?

Understood. But my site was ranked 9/12 for a specific keyword and now ranks not even in the Top 500.

The Google algorithm is always changing. The things that had value yesterday do not necessarily have any value today.

Your previous ranking may have been founded on variables that no longer apply today.

Chances are you've made a change to the page that was ranking, or it's internal/external backlinks.
