Slightly over a fortnight ago, Google stopped referring traffic to my music blog (http://music.unrealitytv.co.uk). Up to that point, I was receiving a steady stream of traffic for a number of queries related to musicians and singles. The speed and thoroughness leads me to believe that there's some kind of penalty involved here, but I can't figure out what. The subdomain has been live since about March of this year. No changes to the site structure or the on-page optimization. Google Webmaster Tools isn't showing any error information and seems to be crawling the site regularly enough Still receiving traffic from other search engines This is a subdomain or the main site, yet the main site is unaffected The only off-site factor may have been an increase in social media submissions, but I can't figure out why that would incurr a penalty Until now, I've had a reasonable amount of success with SEO. Never had a penalty applied and I believe everything I've done to date can be considered white hat. I'd appreciate any input into this one, because it's really bothering me.
Did you check to see if the subdomain had been deindexed or if maybe it lost some backlinks? Occasionally there is fluctuation between amount of traffic and amount of backlinks and indexed pages google has for you. Build some more backlink, add more content and wait it out
No, the site doesn't appear to be deindexed - Webmaster tools is telling me that there's plenty of pages still in the index.
You got a good responsibility towards your site. And you got some SEO knowledge too. I think you lack some backlinks. Try to add some quality backlinks as well as contenet to your site. Hope going down of traffic might be a fluctuation.
