I'm assuming you have not changed the site you originally owned and then bought this new one and changed it and as a result it's rankings have dropped to #10.
In this case I would be inclined to analyze and compare the site you bought and the one you replaced it with as this would certainly point out some obvious difference from an SEO perspective.
If you have trashed the original site you purchased and can not get a copy try using the Way Back Machine (Internet Archiver).
