Please help me understand traffic pattern change

1 replies
I am completely confused.

I have a website that has been getting about 100 visitors a day. I stopped writing new articles for EA but was still getting the visitors because I had several with solid top spots.

My daily visitors have dropped by more than half. But the strange thing is that Google Analytics says that I am getting no referral traffic and all the traffic is coming from direct source. The change happened on the same day, if you graphed the two together you would see an X.

I have no idea why I would be getting direct traffic, as far as I know the URL is not published anywhere. I have downloaded my EA stats to see if I am truly getting no click throughs.

Please help me understand this. Of course along with the reduced traffic, I'm getting no sales.

Thank you,
Lynne

    this is indeed weird. direct traffic means someone typing your url directly into the address bar, or connecting up from an ebook. search engine traffic is specified as search engine traffic. how long has this been going on ?

    have you made any changes before this happened ?
