My website survived a crash this Wednesday (htaccess was screwed and all pages except for our main were displayed as "Not Found" for about 12 hours). After that visitors rate from GOOGLE IMAGES critically dropped from 1500 to about 200 by this day. Will it be possible to restore the previous statistics? Should I just wait? How long then? Oh, sad the world.
you give your answer . you had a ""Not Found" problem . if you did not loose your backlink , you will get the same visitors from google bt you must wait google to find the pages again
Maybe you can help your pages to get re-indexed by creating a sitemap and submitting it to google, and you can also find out which pages dropped from index and add some links to hasten re-indexing.
