    I started my blog back in March, was doing fine, got couple thousand hits every day. Then a stupid host that I was on, the owner got hacked because of his actions, so my site went down. I waited to long to start my blog up again now its trash 3 straight days I haven't got any traffic. What do I do now?

    Well there is not much you can do about the past. However, if you were able to generate that much traffic that fast, you should be able to repeat the effort. Of course, if that was all Stumble Upon traffic, it did not mean much anyway. If it was quality traffic, just repeat your efforts and you should be able to get the traffic back.

    Yeah been trying the whole month of april advertising and what not, traffic just stopped, digg is useless at this point since they don't actually allow you to shout to every friend.

    Like some say, for one must grow, one must fail. I've failed :) now its time to grow.

    My niche is so "blah" not many people are interested it in that as of 2008. I want to start a new blog, and keep my current blog, but I want my new blog to be about a few topics. E.g..:"Web Everything"

    get back on the horse! Always remain dedicated and it pays off each and every time. i almost gave up on one of my websites 6 months ago that was failing, and now its making me $150/month easy just because i persisted!

    i do not see how you have failed yourself. situation was surely out of your control. and you know what they say, failure is the pillar of success. learn from the past and move on being bigger and better. key is to think positive

    what is done, is done, and can't be undo. But you can restart again. You got your design, content, backlinks. All you need is to be persistent with your promotion strategies. Instead of thousands of hits in the start, you should look for quality content and traffic.

    Give it more time, just keep updating and adding links. I had one of my servers bite the dust late last year and it housed 80 sites most pulling pretty decent traffic. The effects hit a few sites really hard, however they have returned mostly to where they were before.

    The only good thing that came out of it is realizing the importance of equipping the servers with better redundancy, hardware RAID with hot swappable drives etc.

    Don't give up, things should stabilize.

    Continue of what you did before. Don't stop promoting your blog. Or it's better that you find another hosting company.
