Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your help, Bernadette. I really appreciate your advice.

I had thought to crawl the site-- I see a few 302 redirects and one 404 response. Webmaster Tools does not indicate any errors found by Google.

The link idea is a good idea-- when I took a look at our backlinks detected by OpenSite Explorer, I find that we have increased in the number of links in the last 3 months 120 (we had lost 50 links, but the domains linking to our site overlap completely). Moz does not show any of the links as spammy.

Are there any other link-related tools that I should be considering here?

Hi Everyone,

Today, I woke up to a dramatic page rank decline (nearly 20 positions) for a client's website (eacoe.org). When I looked in Webmaster tools, I noticed that the site was just indexed yesterday by Google (a request that the webmaster had submitted back in April of this year). Would this re-indexing event have caused the sharp decline?

In Webmaster Tools, I don't see many errors (one 404 error that we are planning on fixing).  I likewise see no Manual Actions/ penalties brought up by Google about our site. My first concern is that the re-indexing led to rank decline, but I'm not entirely sure if I should be focusing on something else. And if it is the re-indexing, what are there any recommended steps of attack?

Thanks for your help!
