    how is your site's rankings for your keywords? Is it still the same?
    Or maybe the search volume for your keyword decreased this month.

    Dropped in ranking for some keywords can be the main reason..

    You can check out your Google webmaster tool account for more details regarding the keyword query stats.

    it frequently happens in google. You need to keep building do follow backlinks at a steady organic pace and keep updating content daily.

    Please do check your backlinks...i read recently that hackers try to manipulate your site ranking by creating thousands of spammy links with anchor texts to your site. Then they report your site as spam and google will penalize you.

    So check your inbound links.

    If this is the case.. submit to google for reconsideration.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi

    I have also seen a drop in traffic to my site since Sep 2010. My page rank has recently dropped from 5 to 3. My main keyword traffic still seems good and similar to before September. However, I must admit I have not been working as hard on backlinks. My traffic is down by around 30% but my business is down by around 50%. So there seems to be two problems. Are other people seeing a drop in traffic? Or are we just getting things wrong?

    Thanks sivaganesh! The only way I know to know my Visitors liking is through Avg. Time on Site and Bounce Rate. The first value is 2.30 minutes, while the second 70%. But both values have never changed.

    it could be that some other sites are getting the traffic you use to get from same keywords, because they rank higher now.

    Hi Andrus! I'm agree with you regarding certain keywords, but in this case I 've have had a drop of 30% of all my sites in only one day.
