    I recently move my websites to new server with new IP's and after that traffic goes down even searches from Google goes down. Is changing server or IP address impacts SERP's & traffic?

    If your website traffic better before than now then it could be the problem of changing ip.

    Remember to always set your desired country on Google's webmaster tools. It will only affect ranking if you're placed on slower, less-responsive servers, everything else is easily fixable.

    IP address do influence your SERP. Because most of local search engine prefer local host with local IP address and give them priority benefit in SERP.
    That is why people always encourage people that you need to know where is your target market and you need to host where near to them .
