Hi Jack_Hughes,

Thanks for commenting on your experience. This is really worrying me now, so I guess the question I've asked in this thread a few times still remains.. i.e.

.. the 301 redirect from http:// to [www....] has been in place for 5 days now and since that time our traffic has plummeted. The redirect was done correctly, the site checked thoroughly etc. If I were to remove the redirect now, would things go back to normal in terms of our rankings, or could it make matters worse now that it's been in place for a while? Anybody's thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

The redirect was meant to avoid this situation, not induce it, which it appears to have done (for us anyway) at this point.
