Is this Google Dance, or something worse?

Hello,

I created an affiliate website almost 2 months ago, Casio Piano Keyboard - helping you find the best Casio digital keyboard on the market. So far I have about 7 unique articles and reviews on it and 45 quality BMR backlinks, and a PR1 ranking. I have 21 pages indexed in Google.

It was ranked up to #6 for the main keyword, "casio piano keyboard" and ranked on page 2 and 3 for the secondary keywords I made the posts around.

About a week and a half ago my rankings totally dropped. I know am ranked in the 800's and 900's for all the keywords and only my homepage is appearing for any of the keywords searched. On Bing and Yahoo I am doing fine.

I didn't do any black hat or weird or funky backlinking. All my content is 100% unique. What's going on? Thanks in advance for the help

    Are you still building out BMR links?

    This is the one huge problem with BMR type of backlinks, the
    linkjuice naturally drops after a while.

    Why? Well as the blog posts get buried farther and farther back
    in the archives of the blog, it gets farther and farther away from
    the homepages "PageRank", thus making your posts less and less
    valuable.

    In order to combat that you need to hammer BMR with more posts.
    Oh, and be sure that you are linking to internal post pages as well.
    Don't just build links to your homepage.

    Honestly, you haven't built enough links for it to really be too bad. Give it a week or two and see if it's just dancing. That would be my guess.

    Continue your backlink projects as much as you can, hopefully your site will pop back up soon.

    It sounds to me like the Google dance.

    Your site wouldn't typically drop of so dramatically by not posting to BMR frequently, if anything this would cause a gradual decline in rankings.

    Possibly think about adding some additional high quality articles in your site with no affiliate links, this can help build trust and show that you are not just another affiliate review site.
