    Hi

    Anyone come across this one before.

    I replaced the template on one of my blogs. A few days later I checked Google Analytics and found that there had been a huge drop in traffic from Google since I changed the template.

    Is this normal?

    I have changed the template back to the orginal for now.

    The drop in the traffic occurs due to many reasons-
    1. Analytics code misplaced.
    2. Seasonal traffic
    3. Navigation setting changes, which may lead to keyword ranking fluctuation.

    yes, that's normal... most likely some part of your content have been moved from one place on your pages to another one... am I right?
