    Google constantly tweaks its algorithm - over 400 times last year. For someone else to go up, someone has to go down. The difference between being in the top 10 to ranking 11th is huge. I don't think you can draw any conclusions about a penalty from a high of 15 to 17 visitors a day. Google did hire 10,000 quality raters, so if your site doesn't have a lot of original content, it's possible it received a low score. With such little traffic, you must be ranking for some long tail keywords - and on-page content carries a lot more weight. Any changes to the site can seriously impact those rankings. Focus on original content - getting quality links from related sites.

    Do some SEO. Build relevant backlinks and add content in your site. You need to improve your ranking in Google, in order to get traffic.

    Did you see my content?

    I have not original and original (for example Reviews) contents as well , I have new content every day. I make backlinks from relevant sites.

    What do you think about my content? Is it OK for google? For people?

    Thanks
