    Hello,


    Our server hosted in canada until June, then we moved website to another server in Germany.
    In this movement, there were no bad things, no drop in visitors etc.
    Between June and August 16, number of visitors increased over time. ( 1.250 unique/day)

    On August 16, we moved our server to vps.net hosting ( in Salt Lake City) and then to Chicago
    After this move, our visitors decreased dramatically( 600 visitors/day ). I think our backlinks became meaningless etc.
    Also our adsense revenue decreased by 3 times.

    we backed to Germany host, bu no luck :(
    now our site is in UK hosting.

    What do you think about all of these? what do you suggest us? I checked our backlinks and I saw many of them are gone

    Sincerely yours.

    Note: our url is www.laser-beauty-cosmetics.com

    What is the age of your website? How long is this period now? An option could be that Google doesnt like the fact that you moved your website many in times in a very short period. Other option could be indeed the backlinks issue what seems the most logical one, if the backlink is gone you lost the value of it. This is by the way more a SEO thing then a traffic analysis thing.

    There is the problem. Backlinks are an important factor in ranking in all search engines. I would suggest building more backlinks, as well as stop moving between servers.

    When you move a website,let old account with files in it at least 2 weeks for complete nameserver propagation.

    Hello,

    When I move my website, I leave the old server up and running but edit the configuration file for the old site to use the MySQL database on the new server so all posts, comments are synced between the two servers.

    Jack.

    Maybe your visitors got longer times to load up your website. Your backlinks won't affect if you haven't changed your domain.
