Sudden drop in page rank

[SEOwins]

Hi

One of our client websites has had a sudden drop in rankings, and also in page rank.

We have obviously been off for 2 weeks, so havent been blogging daily etc as we normally would have.

Would this cause such a drop? Some keywords have lost from position 2/3 to page 7 over night, and we havent change the strategy!

Thanks,

I found over 1,700 broken links, many of them images and css files but a lot of pages also.

I also found over 4,000 unecessary redirects, mean you have internal links that point to the wring url and then are redirected, each redirect leaks link juice.

This is by far the most common

The link to "http://www.safari.co.uk/expore-africa" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "http://www.safari.co.uk/Explore-Africa"

Not the upper case, there is a lot more less harmfull problems also.

But I dont think these are things that have happened in the last few weeks,

Fresh content can rank high then drop, but it sounds like more then a few recent pages have droped.

A los of pagerank, Google only updates page rank every few months, so any drop in pagerank could of been for something long ago, I am not sure when they last updated it. But a loss of page rank mean a los of links or a develauing of links. You can lose PR if websites linking to you loss PR. You may of had some doggy links, that google has discounted, you may have links from a website that no longer exists.

If you give us a URL we could maybe find something

Havge you made any changes in the last month or so?
