Drastic Drop in Traffic - Malware to Blame?
Hello,

I am the owner of the website TVACRES chronicle information about TV programs.

About four months ago, Malware was found on my server at HostRocket.com. Both Norton and Google flagged my site. I had to get my hostserver to delete the malware before I could get reapproved with Google and Norton.

Immediatley after, the problem was fixed I noticed that my monthly traffic dropped from over 300000 to 100000.

Consequently my ad revenue dropped from 600 a month to 200 a month.

This problems has persisted for last four months.

Can anyone offer an explanation and or solution or refer me to someone savvy who can figuure out the problem?

I use both GOOGLE and VALUECLICK (two different ad companies) and both have registered the drastic lose.

Here's hoping someone can help....Thanks
