Hey guyz.... its like three days now, my traffic has dropped 70% just like that ..... its a forum... and there was used to be almost 20k pageviews daily and now its only 1200 ... thats a big loss... but i do not know the reason.... 80% of my traffic was from Google.... and what ever i m getting right now is still from google.... what are the possible reasons for that kind of bif dropped:| i can show u my URL if you are interested...
Well google for me has danced a bit in the last few days on my favorite kw terms. Do you know what terms you traffic comes from? Has there been any major change in the serps for those?
possible people are working the last three days is a part of a work week. See if it picks up on the weekend.
I read that sometimes Google puts temporary ban on some sites, which will result in huge traffic loss. Just search your forum or the words your forum was in top and see if the position dropped.
well i had wordwide traffic and 80% from google search, and i did not make any major changes, but the last thing i did was, install new theme for IPOD and IPHONES. but it was always more than 12k+ no matter what day of the month....
Google is unpredictable.. No one really knows how it works, that's why it's so successful and the best SE around. I think that you lost your ranking on google, my advice to you is to work on getting more backlinks so you can achieve your previous ranking or even a better one
I have changes themes out in the past or page layout or a banner to see serps drop for a few days to a week or so. I would see if it comes back in a few days and meanwhile check out what serps have changed.
This happened to my site, I was lost in serp, but after few days i got back to normal. maybe wait it out ofr a day or week
but the theme i change its not my default theme........ so it shouldnt affect anithing and i dun see ani big change in my google serp... actually i dint know the xact number i had before :|
Please tell us your URL. I think the problems might be one of the following 1. Slow load times which forces the visitors to quit 2. database or any other such errors 3. Google slap 4. God knows what LOL
I lost the majority traffic from google and also lost my keywords positions in last few days. Not sure what exactly happening.
i think i realized what happend... i have lost all my top searched keywords and i think its bcoz... i installed a lil modification which gives changes H2 in all pages.... do you think that could be the reason....?
It could be that someone had posted a topic that made the headlines that day. Lots of people had searched for that topic in those particular days, which resulted in a traffic spike.
You been penalize, or someone has taken the top spot in your keywords. I get the same amoutn of traffic from google...it'll happen to me also one day. Damn it, that's why i want yahoo to climb up man.
It could be the fresh factor. Google finds a load of new content on your site, and takes some time to decide your new rankings. You may find yourself higher than you were before when you're back up.
