30-40% drops in organic Google traffic starting early/mid Feb to Now??

Hello All:

I would really appreciate any insight that can be provided into this dilemma.

I've ruled out bad links issues - we don't have them and never engaged in grey to black hat SEO linkbuilding.

I cannot find the cause for this drop off.

Maybe I'm missing something because I am so close to it?

The site is markspace

Thanks in advance for any and all help or insight!!

You've got high PA/DA, your anchor texts have plenty of branding present, there's no glaring 404s in your top pages, you show up fine for searches for your brand name, I see over 800 pages showing up for a site: search, and I see you ranking on page 1 for generic searches like "iphone sync software."

In other words, nothing pops out at me. At this stage I'd be doing a deep dive in Google Analytics to see if landing pages dropped, number of keywords dropped, traffic for top xx keywords dropped, etc.

Also, you're in a relatively sensitive niche as far as being on top of current trends. If your GA research doesn't come up with anything, I'd bet that it's a seasonal issue. Tons of people got iPhones and iPads for Christmas, and bought gadgets during Dec/Jan, and traffic sloped off after that. Just one possible macro trend that could explain your situation.
