Broken redirects and SEO

    We recently discovered that our redirects were not working. these broken redirects perfectly coincide with a huge drop in SERP - page 8 to page 58 roughly.

    To be clear, the redirect would automatically take traffic from http//ourwebsite to http//WWW.ourwebsite (example urls). That does not happen now. Now it is as if there are two stand alone and identical websites.

    Two Questions:

    1. Anyone else have this problem (Go Daddy is host) and if so what is the fix?

    2. Would this account for the negative change with search engines?


    Thanks,
