    Hi Guys,

    I would like to ask for your assistance with regards to the site traffic that I am experiencing right now.

    What happened in the last 30 days:
    • updated to Google Adsense contextual ads (text-only) where adsense revenue went up by 132% compared to previous month
    • no server issues
    Traffic was down by 90% (see screenshot below):

    We need a little more information to give you a proper answer.

    Lacking this data I will give you a few pointers as to how you may be able to find the source of your problem.

    I must assume that your visitors are primarily search engine based, otherwise the reason for the decrease would be easy to locate.
    One reason may be the engagement in to what google consider 'black-hat' SEO. This could be a sudden massive increase in low-quality inbound links.
    Another may be your website linking to one or more website that google consider website of extremely poor quality or possibly illegal. By all means avoid links to websites with these themes: porn, hacking, illegal video streaming, etc..
    Last reason I can think of is specific keyword(s) that dropped in traffic. Did you change anything with this/these keywords the last 1-2 months? If not, check your competition on these keywords, your decrease may be caused by boost in search engine ranking.
