200% drop in organic traffic - what to do?

by mahol
14 replies
My blog is quite new and have near about 60 good quality articles. All of them are 100% uniques and written by me (Almost 500+ words each).

After 1 day of posting I used to share my blog posts on social media sites via sherolic plugin (almost 10 bookmarking sites). If i write 2 blog posts then on next day i used to submit 20 bookmarks for those pages.

Without social media I am not using anything for backlinking or anything.

From yesterday My traffic is down from 60 organic visitors to 10-20 organic visitors.

Am i doing it wrong way?

    actually you had a 75% drop in traffic not 200%

    If you didn't do any backlinking and you've lost places, you might be in a dance. If it's very new, Google moved you from top SERPs as a consequence of calirbating you backlinks.

        means you probably have some poor links that just kicked.

        or some links with perfect anchor text kicked in recently,

        or any other of the rest of about 400 things that might go wrong. Hire a professional. the question is to broad... its hard to guess

          Don't put your eggs in one basket, otherwise your site is living proof as to what will happen.

    Is your blog indexed and ranking,

    Dropping just 1 place in the serps can have a really big effect on the number of visitors your site receives.

    Check your rankings. Stephen Courtney is right, a slight change in rankings for an important keyword can have huge impact in traffic when the number of organic visits are small.

    A keyword ranking #1 gets around 35%-40% clickthrough rate, while a #2 position gets 10%-20% clickthrough rate.

    Have you been doing SEO?

    Check if you have lost positions, monitor anchor diveristy - Google may have slapped your site or as others are saying, it may just be a "dance"

    Either way you need to dig up some analytic data!
