Garage Door site on the down...

    I run and develop a garage door site for a small company in the UK - cambergaragedoors.co.uk

    Up until recently, we have always ranked relatively well. For example, we were sitting at #5 for the term 'Garage Doors' but have taken a significant hit. I can only think that I am going about things the wrong way or Google has changed its algorithm.

    The only changes the past couple of months have been the purchase of new blogpost links on home improvement sites (through digital point forums). Most (~95%) of these posts have been on non-UK sites. Is that something to note?

    One other query I have is the location of the server. Although it is a UK domain name paired with a UK company, we use bluehost in the U.S. This is down to my fear of getting a lack of power and flexibility that I get from Bluehost. Should I think about moving the hosting to the UK? Will this change rankings or is it all fallacy?

    If you guys could take a look at the site/configuration and provide some tips/suggestions, it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time...
