    I lose 60% Traffic on 3 of my sites hosted on Netfirms, i don't think i was hit by Google animals because my rankings are intact (No Change), Traffic just losing like that. I can access the site fine, but don't know what is causing this problem.

    What could be the problem, i checked DNS errors, they are working fine. I have been facing this problem since 3-4 days, how can i lose traffic just like that without lose in rankings. Before i used to get like 30 hits for a keyword, no i get like 10 hits for the same keyword although there is no change in keyword trend

    Please help, very urgent error

    Are they all on the same host?
    Are they Backlinked to each other?

    Sounds like an issue with uptime, but there is only one way to find out. Do you currently have a monitoring service set-up for your website (example: pingdom)? You can monitor one website for free, I recommend you do so, if not already.

    what do you use to measure your traffic - google analytics or server side things like awstats?

    Strange indeed. I don't have any thoughts on it myself that haven't been mentioned in the above replies. Unless you were down for many many hours. Have you checked your uptime and has there been a big lapse of time in which visitors could not access your site? That is where I would start.
