    I don't think the change of servers would have affected your visits much. Likely it was the site being down several times a day with the slow speeds that caused a slowdown in visits. As stated beforehand though, it should return to normal shortly :)

    Do you mean traffic from Google search?

    I had a similar problem but found out that the host could not handle all the visits and landed up timing out and doing all sorts of other crap. Be very careful dude. Check our your servers very carefully.

    in general changing IP should not impact your traffic. Google works with domains, not IPs. The reason I would think is downtime that you had.

    We just changed webhosts (and hence IPs) and didn't notice a thing. If anything, the traffic is up. We had overloaded our old host and were getting what pawnbroker said - timeouts and other crap.

    You might have got blacklisted from the downtime if it wasn't going on for very long?

    I believe if website getting penalized the owner should receive some kind of message from google in webmaster tools.
    If webserver logs showing that googl still crawls the website and website still appears in google SERP, that it could be temporary thing until google will realize that website is stable again.

    I agree with Montreal Classifieds. Also check your Analytics and see where you have lost the most traffic sources (e.g. Direct, Search).

    I think he is saying that he lost most of his traffic from organic search.. Which I agree with the above posters that this should go back up shortly.

    You should be looking at your web analytics to determine what the problem is. Look to see if particular keyword phrases or pages are no longer getting traffic. Look to see if you have an unusually large number of 404 errors. Look to see which referrers had a huge dropoff in traffic (just Google? Bing too? direct traffic? traffic from non-search engine sites? etc.) Look at page load times, average time on site, bounce rates. Compare before move and after move results for all of the above. Also, inspect your DNS entries to make sure the DNS for the new host was properly configured.

    As others have said, something has gone wrong with the move. It shouldn't have affected rankings or traffic at all if it were done correctly.
