    Hi all,

    My site was getting about 2500+ visitor daily. But one week ago my hosting crashed and my site was closed for 2 days. Now it's only getting 300-400 visitors daily. It's a phpbb forum and successfully indexed by google. I could not understand why it happened. Can anyone explain this? How can it go back to normal ?

    If your site goes down and is not able to be indexed, SE's will stop sending traffic you way. I have seen this happen and it sometimes took 2 months to get any traffic back. Best bet is to find a better host if the site is worth it.

    Good luck

    I had the same problem just before I decided to get root servers. SE dropped my sites and the traffic went back up slowly over 2-3 months. It's like being sandboxed again.
