It can be done.... There are many different scenarios...
If you were hosted on a free host or a non-dedicated box I could get 30 sites on the same box and presumably the same IP address. I could list my whois data to match yours exactly. Then I can link into you and to Google it'd look like a link farm...
Alternatively I could spam your site and the term all over forums, blog comments and referrer logs... Google would have no choice but to think you did it. Don't worry, this sandbox usually wears off in 6 months to a few years ;)
So can it be done? Yes... So do a site explorer check and see if your site was spammed to other sites for shit backlinks.... Do a reverse IP check and see if someone is doing the first attack I mentioned...
Otherwise you might just suck ;)
