      Our website which was ranking at number 1 in Google.co.uk for our 2 main search terms for over three years was hacked into last November. We rebuilt the site but had slipped down to number 4. We were hacked again 2 weeks ago and are now at number 7.

      I realise that this drop may not be just a result of the hacking but it cant' have helped.

      I've just access our Google Webmaster Tools accounts and these are the current results:

      940 Access Denied Errors

      197 Not Found

      The 940 Access Denied Errors apply to all of our main pages plus....

      Is it likely that the hacking caused the Access Denied errors and is there a clear way to repair these errors?

      Any advice would be very welcome.

      Thanks,

      Colin
