Take a look here, there's one method your site is guilty of.
A year or so ago I was involved with a group where we bought an existing information site which had fairly good search rankings (no use using a brand new domain, as they're on another playing field) - in the sole aim of proving that some 'SEO' methods actually harmed a perfectly SEO-sound site (in terms of on-site factors) - thus, regardless what you do on-site, black hatters can affect your search rankings. The site I mention is now well and truly blacklisted in Google but still ranks well in other search engines (dare I say, even better than before!). A re-inclusion request seen the site back in the SERPs, but was soon buried into the 'omitted' search results. 6-months of casually doing 'clean' SEO work couldn't revive the domain.
SEO is murderous.
