Google: do they know what they are doing?

After 7 month, Google de-ranked my  Easy recipes  website  from page 1   to page 8, for most of my keywords.
I am 100% sure, i didn't do anything different than adding new content on regular basis, and some (very few) link exchange with related websites.
This big change in the search ranking makes me wonder which option is the right one:

1)  For 7 month I ranked in a position I did not deserve, so google provided low quality results  and failing their goal.
2) I deserve that position  but google screwed it up and they are again failing to reach their goal.
3) Google's algo  idea sux  big time: if you want to rank good  you need natural back-linking, but if you do not rank good, no    one will visit  your site and link it.
   
Free tip:   avoid to release only on search engines for your traffic.

Peace!
