"I think you maybe right about google slap due to spammers,and maybe affiliate links, but I am very careful,"

Didn't mean to imply you weren't careful or were a spammer - just that when the spammers take over and ruin a traffic vehicle, it can ruin it for all the good guys too if G devalues all the links or whatever. If another is still there not you, can you tell when that one was published? How many links it has? That could possibly tell you why they are up and you aren't. Then again it could just be a fluke too.

Over time, after you live through many Google ups and downs it gets easier.
If you were a farmer you could lose your crop to insects or drought, in this business one of the biggest challenges is the big G. Can't change it so just need learn to live with it as much as you can and diversify enough to handle the drops.
