Google traffic down 67% - what's happening?!

    I have posted on here previously about an ongoing problem where my Google traffic jumps up and down regularly (approximately monthly) but this time the traffic has stayed down. And then gone even further down. And now it is down over 67% compared to February this year.

    I've not made any significant changes to the site in this time. I do not buy or sell links. I do not do any black hat SEO. I have regularly added more quality, original content to the site. I'm playing by the rules but for some reason Google is killing me! What's going on?

    If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this, I will pay a very good reward or make a big donation to charity, your choice. There must be something fundamentally wrong with the site somewhere that I'm overlooking. Be sure to check my previous post because it contains more detail.

    I'll share my analytics data with anyone who seriously wants to help and thinks they can resolve this.

    They could be doing update and site is moving around. If site is older it should stay more consistent but if it is new or year old they tend to move around while you build links and content.

    It's not a new site, it has been well indexed for around 5 years and traffic has been stable and steadily rising over this time until about 18 months ago when my analytics charts started looking like a rollercoaster. :confused:

    perhaps your site is being "attacked", I think you should contact Google webmaster staff about it, a 5 year old site should be stable

    How can I tell if it is being attacked? And how do I contact Google webmaster staff?

    Thanks for any help you can give.
