Help!! Traffic went from 120+ to 9 in on day

msankadi · 04-13-2007, 12:15 AM

I have started a blog pretty recently and have had a decent 140 uniques per day on an average. Today when I woke up I was shocked to see such a huge fall in the traffic. I dont understand what is going on. I can provide any stats you want. Just help me out with whats going on?

Thanks for the help in advance

Where do most of your traffic come from (when you're getting 140 uniques daily)?

Here is a breakup of my traffic for the last 7 days. Hope it helps you probe into the possibilities:

You could have lost some links that were getting clicked on a lot, or your site dropped rank because you changed content that they had!

has your site had 100% uptime?

That's the first place I look when I see a traffic dip. If my site is down, I assume I have a hard time getting visitors.

Maybe some of your ranking in your targeted keywords was gone on top of SERP. Maybe you also lost some of your backlinks that bring high traffic to your site.

As you can see, 40% of your traffic comes from myBlogLog. myBlogLog can almost be classified as a social bookmarking site - we can't expect permanent/regular traffic from it. Do you still get a lot of traffic from it?

Agreed. MBL traffic can be fickle as many users hit a site once, signup, and don't return. I'd invest some time and energies in other sources. Don't give up on MBL, but do work on others. 40% is a huge chunk, and IMO it should be around 8-9%.
