    Hello Friends,

    I have site which had more then 400 visit/day. (about 4 month average.)

    Then I have added Social Plug-in (ShareThis) and Face book like plug-in.
    in next week I have started getting about 550 visits/day.

    it worked nicely for 2 month.

    but since last week it keep falling every day.
    and for last day I had 290 visits only :(

    Can facebook cause issues?

    Site name is www.thewowimages.com
    My best keyword is Funny Images.
    For google.co.in it still looks like I am on first page.

    any expert advise.

    Kindly help sooner.

    your content clearly isnt good enough, thats the only thing that could alter your visitors, facebook couldn't cause issues but can be a big way to gain traffic if you play it right.

    You need to put your site about a little bit more instead of relying on other people to submit, you should do some submitting and spread the word nicely

    thanks for response but here issue is it was really nice and constant traffic of more then 500 visits/day
    and suddenly fall to below 300.

    I don't think it would be Facebook, check your analytics and see what traffic source has been decreasing then try and put it right.

    I don't think facebook caused it, it is about your site. You should do proper Seo for more visitors.

    I think it may be your analytics. I have had issues where I see a sudden drop in visitors and realized that it wasn't tracking right. If you fix it and find that there is still some other problem. You might just have to keep putting up new content and make sure you don't lose some of your loyal visitors.

    So you think facebook code may be stopping or conflicting to analytics code ?
    Actually it worked well for 2 months. May I need to update facebook code ? Or anylitics ?

    Kindly advise in more detail.

    Yes it looks like down from all sources, so it may be google analitics issue.

    It may be content farm issue. Last weeks Google dropped many sites from google search engine.

    Google has recently updated their algo. So it's what affected your site and traffic at all. Not by Facebook.
    You should continue your task for your website. This is very normal and it only means that what you are doing is paying off.
