We re-did our site, better looking, database driven. Lots of reason why we wanted to do it. HOWEVER, sad to say we lost our ranking from 10 to 93.

Why would this happen?

Did you upload the new .asp URL's around Feb?

Are your page names the same, or did they change?

If they changed, see what you can do about installing 301 redirects from the old page names to the new page names.

If the URLs did change (as they probably did) then you could also look at using some form of URL rewriting - mod_rewrite [httpd.apache.org] for Apache, for example.
