I think that most people find when making a complete change like you describe on a well ranked site the result is what you’re seeing. Poor maybe even penalized results. I believe many people will find putting up a new domain preferable to changing an existing one radically. My best guess is its going to take a long time before you get the same results you had before at least a major indexing or two.

Keep updating content especially before the monthly visit from google. Follow all the regular do's and don'ts. Make use of google adsense for a while at least. Check if your listed with http://dmoz.org/ if you aren't submit there seems like once they have you listed the rest will pick it up faster.

I think the robots.txt is ok like that though others have qustioned it too.

I know when I switched from PHPNuke to PostNuke all my urls changed and the site has never been listed as well as it was at one time as a result of all the urls changing.

It will take some time for the search engines to get you listed again. You could manually submit your site to the search engines. While waiting for them to spider your site you could modify the meta.php file. What you want to change are the keywords in the meta.php file to match your site content.

Its time for you to learn how to googletap your monster - I went to audioslaved's site to get his nifty GT NeXTGen scripts which are easy to learn how to use (even I can so you surely can). Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! If you do this, you will convert your .php extensions to .html extensions just like Raven did here on this site. It should help some..............
