    I have a blog and it was working fine with Google. I was getting a lot of hits from Google organic search ( around 80% of total traffic ).

    Then I used blogger import option to import postings from one of my old not working blog into this blog.

    After this I deleted the old blog as it was not working anyways.
    But immediately after doing this import my hits from google organic search dropped to almost zero :(

    I don't know what went wrong.

    And yes, both blogs are of similar type and the old blog content was also original :(

    Do any expert in this have any Idea?

    What do you mean by old not working blog? This blog is no longer updated or is not online anymore?

    I am not sure if your old blog was at Blogspot or you have used CMS like Wordpress. If you have access to the files on the server where is/was your old blog I recommend to use 301 redirect using .haccess. For example, old-weblog.com/article will be redirected to new-weblog/article.

    If you cannot to do that than only continue doing what have you done till now. It often happen that your site drops down in search engines after adding a lot of new content.
