Two of my websites, free-games.as and top-free-games.com don't seem to be ranking high/at all in Google any more.

If you search for "free games", free-games.as is nowhere to be found. The site used to rank on the 2nd page but it disappeared after the new algorythm. Same goes for top-free-games.com, used to rank for "top free games" but now is nowhere to be found.

Both sites don't really have any big SEO tricks which could trigger Google to penalize them.

Perhaps it's because both sites (which are on the same IP) are linking to eachother on every page? I have more websites on the same IP also linking to these websites with targeted anchor text.

Any ideas?
