Frustrated about Google ranking

So not too long ago I wrote up a blog post about how excited I was that within only two days of creating my first site, that it had gotten ranked on page 1 of Google. I kept moving through the training and sticking to the advice that was given. I kept writting up content on a daily basis to keep my site flowing with what I felt was good material.

However, yesterday when I checked google during the day I got bumped down to page 2, then later that evening I was on page 4! This was very disheartening and my mind immediately took off wondering about what could possibly be going wrong.

My first hypothesis was that perhaps the articles I am writting are too diverse in type of content. However, that was somewhat the goal of my site. I chose a rather "broad" scope for the website in general so that I could be able to write many different posts targeting low competition keywords. This seemed like a great strategy since I wouldn't have to buy a new domain and start new websites from scratch for every new niche idea that I had. Though now I'm wondering is that the better way?

My next hypothesis was that perhaps I am including too many affiliate links. However, only 2 articles out of about the 10 I have on there right now have affiliate links in them. Is it becauce I include the same link too many times in multiple areas within those posts that have affiliate links? I wouldn't think so since I did not exceed the recommendation given in the video.

Now I'm wondering if it has to do with Google+. I know that it was said that we should only include one link to our website from Google+ per day to avoid looking like a scammer. I don't really use Google+ so I don't really post much more on there than the daily single post writing about an article I published followed by a link to it. Maybe I should start including random non-linked posts to Google+ as well?

All I know is that it is very frustrating. Getting ranked down in the search engine after experiencing the high of being on page one is like being stripped of a trophy. I really don't know where I am going wrong in gettin ranked down, but I am determined to get back onto page one!
