ive seen this happen to a number of sites, this is not terribly abnormal. try to figure out what keywords you are getting the increased traffic on and improve your bounce rate & time on site. maybe you will stay up there longer the next time. i would also look at changing titles, or content to effect how you show for these searches to see if you can also increase your CTR which might also help keep you on top.
It is not just the keywords that I get traffic for, it is the amount of keywords. My site normally gets traffic for just under 2000 different keywords each day...then it will shoot up to around 6000 during that time frame. Also, phrases like "free porn videos" my site will be around 14th (it used to be in the top 10, sometimes the top 5), then it will drop down to #250.

That said, the site still places top 10 for tons of good keywords, often #1.

Google has said that this is not a manual action (penalty). So something is throwing a filter on the site, in the algorithm, that lasts for 60 days then expires, then is reapplied within about a week.

Why...you've seen this before?
