I don't know what happened overnight. One of my site's page views and sessions have decreased all of a sudden overnight. While most are running as they were, this one's traffic in particular has dipped. I would really appreciate if someone can help me understand this issue. I will send the url via PM.
Hi, if you observe a decrease with Google, keep in mind they are still rolling a Panda update (it started last week). So, you could be a victim of the Google Dance (rankings going up or down until they stabilize). Other people have reported the same. There has also been a release to fight PBN (private blog networks) backlinks, but you should have seen the impact earlier. Many people expect a Penguin update soon, may be it has started. Panda means thin or low quality content. Penguin means backlink issues. If you have not been modifying your site (robots.txt, nofollow, etc...), then this is the most probable explanation. There is one last possibility, someone performs a negative SEO attack on your site. If you can't spot obvious issues, I would wait a little to check whether rankings are restored.
I think they rolled Panda update a week back. But that didn't affect my site. I am only seeing the impact today. Well, I'll just wait then...
Google is always tinkering with indexing of sites, it's difficult to predict the exact issue so sit tight and give it a few weeks. Traffic should come back if you have been doing organic SEO.
Maybe the GG is updating their penguin update, now check the total incoming link to your website to notice any unnatural backlink, if yes, use the disavow tool to tell google bot remove those bad link. Hopefully it's just a dance session!
