I have an auction website: free-auctions.net. When I first set it up it was doing extremely well in the search engines between #2-7 for my keywords. I just recently changed the entire layout of the website and added new services, about 2 months ago. Ever since I made the changes my rankings went from #2 down to # 250 for my keywords. I am using the same keywords and have the same text throughout the website. Why do the search engines not like my site anymore? The script is written in perl.

Your site has very few inbound links (13). None of them are high quality and at least 3 of them are no-followed. You want 100s of good links.
You will need to embark on a quality link building campaign.

One of the reasons why is because of the aging aspect of your index page. The search engines might look upon it as a new site since you upgraded it and you have been penalised as a new site. Lucky you were not placed in the sandbox. Your keyword for auction has been repeated many times and you might have a spam penalty. That is probably the case. Algorithms change all the time and spam penalties are now commonplace. Why not put a title in your metatags instead of the url, as the se's already know that and your missing a good keyword opportunity. I suppose now all you need to do is optimize your site both on and off line. This way you might clear the upset the se's have with your site.

As my fellow SEO memotrade said. You have very few links to your site.
If you do "view/page source" on your toolbar when looking at your site - you will see roughly what the search engines see. Not a lot of meat there for them to get hold of.
You are also spamming with your keywords - one mention is fine.
You need to get your site SEO'd You are in a very very competive area.

Build inbound links to your website.
Most of the directories online charge a one time fee to review your site and add it to their index. Here are three of my favorites:

http://www.kahmer.com

The more inbound links to your site, the better you will rank
with Yahoo / Google / MSN.
Also work on your meta tags. Here is an
article on how they work: http://www.richkahmer.com/meta-tags.html

Try to link to your website from as many websites as you can.
Wish you good luck :)
