    I don't know. The site loads and everything shows up good so there is no
    problem with people not being able to access your site.

    Do you know where your visitors came from before?
    Because that can determine if the source of your visitors has dissapeared etc.

    Is it possible that you don't build backlinks lately? I notice with my blog, that if i don't build backlinks, the traffics is also going down. Plus, over the weekend traffics is also getting less.

    Backlink will definitely help.. you should do more updating and add more friendly plug-in to be more visible to google search.

    Check your traffic statue from several websites to be sure!

    Yeah it seems like Google penalizes blogs heavily for not constantly updating their stuff

    Check if your indexed pages have dropped, if so, then you probably have lost a lot of long tail keyword traffic

    Hi,

    According to the most recent data from semrush, the site in your post only rank for about 10 really tiny keywords on 2nd page of Google. So, I think the most important issue is to increase your back links using your targeted keywords as anchor text since there are about only 80 back links to your domain.

    all the best,

    content plays a big factor + building quality links...traffic could be high and sometimes too low, what you have to do is maintain your site well...

    Check your rankings first. May be you lost the rankings. also check analytics. If you have lost traffic from any particular city/keyword etc.

    Could be a whole range of reasons. Some people think that it's some content that they've changed, but it could be a whole range of factors, from ageing content to the fact that other website owners are promoting their site more frequently than you in google, meaning that their site gains more prominence on google and pushing yours further down the rankings. Just keep adding new content daily and building backlinks to your site daily and all will return

    Looks fine to me. Have you added your site to Google Webmaster Tools? It can usually tell you what the problem is.

    Have you recently built a ton of backlinks to your site by any chance? perhaps forum profile links? These can get you sandboxed pretty easily and there goes almost all your traffic if you were ranking well before.

    If not, where was your traffic coming from?

    You have backlinks from link farms.
    If i was google i would ban your website from search results, you do not bring any useful content just some spam in search results.
    This is a pure MFA.

    Your site not listed as suspicious in Google.
    It happens time to time and usually recovers in several weeks.

    One reason of sudden drop in traffic is the change in Google’s Algorithm – Google constantly changes its algorithm, be it a small update or a major update such as Google Caffeine it might affect your traffic. If such an update does end up affecting your traffic, it will also affect others. Search Google and fine tune the results by date to see if anyone else experienced a change. There’s little you can do in the short time, you need to hope further algorithm tweaks will restore your ranking or you’ll need to optimise your site better in accordance with new update.

    Quality content and quality backlinks both are helpful for traffic.
