Traffic drop :(

[vijayvasu]

Hello MOzzers, hope you are all well.

Here is my question.

Site : http://www.gunshotdigital.com

Issue: Traffic

In the past 3 days we have close to 300 Unique visitors, but today we just have 5.

Totally confused as to why this might be. I know Matt Cutts hinted at algo change in 2 months.

Our rankings are still steady.

So could anyone help?

Thank you Mozzers, we love you and are flattered to be part of this formidable community.

Just guessing.....

Your analytics are not working properly today.

Google has move images above your position in the SERPs.

Your hosting is not performing.

Thank you EGOL, i was on the phone with Rackspac and they say everything is fine, i tried  pingdom to see what was happening and the site speed is fine.

We installed Cloudflare yesterday as a CDN - could this have affected anything?

Thank you so much,

Vijay

Cloudflare yes, could very much affect your analytics

There are a variety of help topics about this on CloudFlare's site.

Hi Vjay,

TBH it's probably your back link catalog... It's mainly built from blog comment spam.

If Build My Rank or a couple of other networks were used at all for links, that may also account for some of the changes. But I'd be sure to check your analytics and make sure they're on Cloudflare properly.

edit: you said there were no ranking changes, so I'd really look at analytics at this point. Also, was the 300 uniques over three days a regular occurrence, or was it more of a spike from getting featured on reddit at one point then your baseline being much lower? Look at a couple of months worth of traffic as a baseline, not just a couple of days.

Hello and Thank you Keri,  will check, how are you

Is this data coming from Google Analytics or another stats from your hosting platform ? I would check them both to make sure it's in sync. If your rankings are stable and nothing on the site is wrong (or maybe it was broken or stats / tracking had some issues) depending upon what analytics/stats program are you using to track it. I would watch it next couple days to see what's going on.

Cloudflare cuts out the spam, so that may be the reason you saw a drop in traffic.
