Google Mystery

For years I was at the very min on the first page of google with my picked keywords...lately i had moved to top 3 with all but a few kw. My business was getting 2-3 calls a week as a result. Then bam...! I am on page 12 and some schmuck that photographs racecars in West Va is on the top. Some articles I have written about my profession are there higher than ever...but not my website. As for Yahoo Search I am all over being listed up to 3 times on the first page. I thought I was being "legal" with my code and not disturbing the spiders...clearly I have done something wrong and am being punished! After some snooping around I found that I had two index pages one index.htm (current flash site) and one index.html (former HTML - dead) on my server. Could this have done it? Is google going though any retooling of the algorithms? Any ideas?

Flash Site:
www.Mike-Butler.com

Html Site:
http://www.mike-butler.com/html_home.html

Some of the Keywords:
Interior photographer Florida
Architectural photographer Florida

Did you make any specific changes to the site just prior to the drop in ranking?

Nothing. The site was upgraded to flash about 6 months prior. That was all. The HTML site stayed as it was.
