    Hello guys,

    I would like know what do you guys think about this. I am running a website since september 7.

    Everyday I was getting between 400-700 unique visitor on this site. But for 3 days now, I can barely go over 70...? This is hurting alot adsense and I would like to know what is causing this.

    Anyone know why I would drop from 700 UV to 70 in 2-3 days? what the ....

    Thanks for your help

    You gotta do your own investigation. Where were you getting 700 U/V from ? Were you buying traffic? Did it come from search engines? If it did, then you may have lost rankings on keywords.

    How do you check your U/V? I suspect inaccurate result.

    If google analytics, prolly you accidentally remove google analytics' tracking code.
    It happened to me once when I revert my website's template.

    90% crash isn't normal. Why not follow their suggestions. I haven't even tried google analytics yet.

    Your site is new. Google give a New Content Boost to new pages and new sites, this boost helps them rank high in search results. But this boost is only temporary.

    After this boost is gone, the site comes down in SERPs and traffic comes down too. You will have to wait and keep doing SEO. Try to get some solid backlinks as they help a lot to get a stable position in SERPs.

    69.1% of all my traffic was coming from bing.

    Now I can't find my site in the first 20 pages of the best keywords that worked with my site.

    How can you check for indexed pages with bing? I have tried site:mydomain.com but it doesn't work.

    Thanks

    i'm not sure about bing, but with google your website will often move around and even disappear from the SERP results if you have been doing a lot of backlink building. usually returns in a few days to a couple of weeks, generally in a better place than you were before. as angilina said, however, you may have been getting a lot of traffic as a result of having a fresh, new website - you could try adding more content, but my guess is that if that is the problem, you'll have to start building more backlinks to get back to where you were before.

    Just check whether site is still in google. I had one site which received 100+ visitors a day and it was after the pr update my pr became N/A and my site was removed from google and also no visitors came from google. :(
