Ranking in Google decreased heavily overnight!

    My website www.free-hdtvs.com, and also my blog www.free-hdtvs.blog.co.uk were ranked 3rd and 5th on a search for "free hdtvs" yesterday on Google. I checked today and my blog is now not listed at all and my website has gone down to the 4th page.

    Is there any reason why this happens? I update my website everyday thinking that it would keep it up there, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I submitted my sitemap to the Google Webmasters but there doesn't seem to be any errors, it checked my website and found no errors, and it can confirm that the website is indexed. Just seems strange - though today I've refined my website a little as the keyword percentage was sometimes a little high on some pages, so maybe it will become more Google friendly now!

    Any more tips are welcome :)

    Thank you all for your help.

    I'm not sure you want duplicate content on your home page.
