Google is constantly refining its algorithm. My guess is that it
previously ranked well due to keyword-loaded links coming from these
two pages:
http://www.mymortgagehomeloan.com/partners16.htm
http://www.home-loans-equity.net/partners16.htm

Google has probably worked out that these aren't genuine links, and no
longer gives them value.
