        Hi yukung,

        Did anything change on the page when you moved URLs? Was it redesigned? Content changed? Anything?

        If any changes were made, it's possible that these are the reason for the decrease in traffic...but it's hard to give good advice without knowing the URL.

        Are you able to PM me the URL?

        Cheers,

        David
