I've been SEOing [a site] it used to rank pretty well for some good phrases:

linux web hosting - 5
windows web hosting - 20
web hosting company - 40

and other ranked not so well:

web hosting - ~200
hosting - ~200

and some VERY well

winpanel - 2
web hosting affiliate - 5
cpanel web hosting - 5

Now, it seems like we don't rank at ALL with any phrase that has "web hosting" in it. I think we're punished due to over optimizing... Has anyone else experienced this? If I can get some kind of confirmation that other over optimized sites are experiencing the same it would be helpful.

I thought [company deleted] was pretty over optimized for the phrase "search engine optimization" yet they are still #1...

Please let me know your thoughts, thanks. I'm planning on toning down the seo on this site...
