Why did my page position suddenly drop, could it be ads or banners?

Hi,
My site www.mightygrip.ca was placing very well in google, up until the last crawl.
Now it has dropped way down in the listings even though th PR has gone from 2 - 3

Previously here is how I placed in google.ca search in Canada

2&3 wholesale batting gloves
4 wholesale distributor golf
5 wholesale sporting goods
6 Wholesale golf distributor
6 Canadian wholesale golf
8 sporting goods Canadian
12 buy sporting goods

Now my positions are as such

2&3 wholesale batting gloves
+100 wholesale distributor golf
16 wholesale sporting goods
+100 Wholesale golf distributor
+100 Canadian wholesale golf
+100 sporting goods Canadian
+100 buy sporting goods

The only thing I have changed is, that I have placed banners and ads on my page that weren't there before.
Could this be the cause of such a dramtic drop?
Please, any help or advise would be appreciated.
Thank you
Scott

SERP's are no way related to toolbar PR.

No that cannot be a reason. It happens and wait for sometime and hope that it will gain in 1-2 weeks time.

It is quite possible you are getting penalized for the obnoxious use of alt tag text. You also have almost no incoming links.

1. only 41 back links
http://de.search.yahoo.com/search?fr...&ei=ISO-8859-1

2. too many keywords in alttags

I will clean up the Alt tags, I guess it does, look pretty bad.

Do you think I could have been penalized over this?
My incoming links have not changed, so can't see that affecting postion.
But I will try to develop more.

Thanks for your advise

Scott

Alt image tags fixed, are they ok now?
Thanks
Scott

Your website is perhaps in the sandbox now.
And in your alttags you still have to many keywords:

I've hear this sandbox expression a couple of times here.
What does it mean?
Is there a way out of the "Sandbox"

This site has been up with the same alt tags for 6 months and always did well.
Why all of a sudden, would they penalize me now.

What is the max number of words for Alt tags?
Thanks
Scott

The best way to now the max numer of keywords in alttags is that you analyse all top 10 sites by your keyword
The sandbox effect is as soon as a filter
