Where has all my traffic gone....

INTERNET MARKETING

I have a blog with consistently 70+ visitors per day for over a year and then yesterday traffic right down to 3 visitors

I put the domain into Google search and my site still displayed and listings were showing below with pages from my site.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might have happened and is there anything I should do at this point :confused:

Thanks

It seems you were getting traffic from long tail keywords you were not targeting. Now you're not. I wouldn't be worrying about dropping from 70 to 3 visitors a day. My concern would be how on earth are you only getting 70 visitors a day after a year.

Work harder and get your links out there in more quality places. Simple.

Google can change the position of your site as it sees fit. Sometimes new sites start off ranking well and then disappear for a while. Just keep on adding quality content and your listing will come back.

At least I have found this to be the case with my sites.

Moneyland,

Did you stop posting quality and relevant blogs? What were your sources of traffic before this thing happened? If one of your sources of traffic is Facebook, did you stop posting on Facebook?(that's just an example though).

  it's called google update, they targeted exact match domains this time...
  
  ALL my sites were hit because of that, even the old ones I havent touched for a year or so...I have about 1 keyword for each website ranked within top 100 now, instead of 30 within top 30...

Latest Google update hits almost every website that has exact match domain with low quality.

This is why I prefer paid traffic, it never goes away!

70 visitors a day after all that time is very bad. I would analyze what steps you are taking to increase SEO and really look at if its an effective plan.

Are you saying the site was still ranking? If so, it might be premature to assume it's Google re-ranking your emd lower...just a thought.
