Clicks Suddenly Stopped?

    I can't figure out what's going on. I had recently moved my content from the All Info About network and launched www.BizAmmo.com. My traffic to BizAmmo.com is more than my traffic was to my AIA sites, even though I'm nowhere near being fully indexed in Google yet (only home page at last check a few days ago). Before I took my content down from AIA, and before BizAmmo was even launched, I was getting several clicks a day and several dollars a day. Once my content was pulled from AIA, my clicks on my BizAmmo ads seem to have simply disappeared into thin air. I haven't had a single click now since the transfer fully happened. Is there any reason anyone can think of why that might happen? Should I contact Google and see if there's suddenly some sort of problem? I get an occasional stray click on an indie music directory, but that's it. I know it's not much, but I had finally built it up to around $10-20 per week in a stable sense, and now I'm lucky to get $.10 / day. I just dont' get it since this exact site's ads were already bringing in clicks, and still getting the same traffic?? I'm just a bit frustrated, because I was finally making progress and now nothing again. :(

    Did you cahnge host? There are few that have complained that their ads have been mistargetting after changing hosts.

    Are you getting organic traffic to your Bizammo site? I saw a blog post about your new site yesterday (if I remember correctly it was a pretty high traffic site that's probably mostly frequented by ad-blind users) so I'm wondering if you could just be getting less visitors from the serps.

    Still seems kind of funny that you haven't had a single click though. Your ads blend very nicely. ;)

    Thanks on the blending. :)

    No, I haven't changed hosts or anything since the clicks stopped.

    I'm not getting any SE traffic really since it's not indexed in google fully, but I wasn't when I first put the site up either, and was still making a few dollars a day at least.

    I'm not sure about a blog mentioning my site... none that I know of. Most of my visits are still from DP members going to the press release resources in my sig. Other than that, still wikipedia and stumbleupon (which I used to surprisingly enough get conversions from). Other than wikipedia taking a smaller role, everything's about the same, if not better, traffic-wise. It just seems too odd.

    Meh, I was probably wrong about the blog being high traffic but I distinctly remember seeing a nice little write up about your site, they had a little pic of your logo and everything. I could've sworn I got the link from problogger.net.

    I hadn't tracked the press releases I sent out, and didn't keep them going all week, b/c I lost access to my computer for the better part of the last two days. So I just did a search, and it's at least nice to see it's been picked up a few times, at least that have been indexed already. I just can't understand going from 5-20 clicks a day to absolutely none for several days. :( It's crazy. I guess I'll wait it out and see what happens.
