    First at all, check your traffic status, see what type of source have huge drop. if the SE traffic drop, probably due to keyword drop on serp, or some season issue.

    Nothing. Come on, every site online that gets traffic from Google someday gets much less traffic, and sometimes more. 3 days in a row isn't nice, but it happens, it's not like you are constantly at one place for the keyword, and not everyday there's the same amount of people searching for the topic.

    Unless you have dramatically changed something on your site, there's no need to worry :)

    How long is a piece of string? Dude, so many things could be wrong but you need to tell us what kind of things have you done over the past few weeks.

    I have been submitting my blog to directories for the past 2 weeks and the day my traffic started to drop I noticed that the +1 button had disappeared.So I tried to reinstall it.I pasted the new <script> code to my template.The button reappeared but then I realized that I hadn't removed the old code.Removed the old code and the +1 was gone again.Then I placed the old code back along with the new code and the button strangely reappeared.Could this have anything to do with my traffic drop?

    And yes my google traffic has dropped significantly.Here is the traffic graph from google for the last two months.Ignore the line after 150 because that is today.

    As you can see on October 24 I had 276 visitors and three days later they dropped to 146 [​IMG].

    i think waiting for a few more days is cool. its just due to adjusting new back links and contents. will not last for a long time.

    Last month my traffic from google dropped with 4%. There was no problem. Just fewer people searched for my keywords. Nothing to worry about, nothing you can do.

    Google Panda.

    If your content is not good enough, then Google Panda will penalize your website.

    if your page ranking is still fine, just wait, the traffic will be back. But note 2 points-

    1. if your site is converting well and bringing money for you &
    2. If current low traffic situation continues

    Then, don't waste time by waiting much longer. Try other means of traffic generation.

    check out the Site's webmaster and remove if is there any error. Check the page loading time . is it taking more time? Check the content weather it is copied from anywhere?

    What SEO said, Seems google didn't like duplicate content before, after panda they surely don't like it.
