Hi Keri.....there is no message from google webmaster and there has been a drop in ORGANIC traffic only from Google .
Will look for an answer .

We're not able to provide audits in Q&A, but the community can help provide some help. First, do you have any messages in Google Webmaster Tools? Has the traffic drop come from just Google, or from all of the search engines? Have you had traffic drops from your referral traffic? From direct traffic?

Direct is taking over my SEO traffic in Mobile iOS and Android Devices
WIth all the buzz of mobile has anyone taken a look to dig into the SEO traffic by device (desktop vs mobile). Well I did and surprising my desktop trend was not even close to mobile traffic. Surprising to know that due to the security updates in iSO and Android organic traffic (traffic with out tracking codes) is getting bucket into Direct. (Yes we all know Direct traffic is dirty dirty label traffic that analytics platforms can identify.)http://www.rimmkaufman.com/blog/estimating-google-organic-search-visits-hidden-by-ios-6/17122012/http://www.definemg.com/recover-your-android-4-and-ios-search-traffic/ Feels like SEO is receiving no love... didn't we have enough with Google encryption, we didn't get the keyword but at least got the referral! Have you notice in your traffic and what are you doing about it?

Difference between Organic and Natural Traffic?
This is a pretty basic question, but I'm wondering if there is any meaningful difference between the terms Organic and Natural traffic? My assumption is that Organic traffic refers to traffic that comes in through search engines, whereas Natural traffic would also include people directly entering a URL, coming in through social referrals, and through links on other sites in addition to organic search. Is this correct, or are there other definitions for what these terms mean?

What causes the reduction in traffic?
On FEB 2012 I got the now-famous notice from Google about the unnatural links. I contacted the SEO company who worked for my website and removed the inbound links. I submitted the reconsideration request and Google said that there are still unnatural links. I dig more on my links and continue to remove the links I think Google does not like. I again submitted the reconsideration request and they responded “we still see links to your site that violate our quality guidelines.”. When I compared the non-paid traffic month by month, starting on March, I see these fluctuations: March compared with Feb -16% April compared with March -18% May compared with April +13% Jun compared with May -10% July compared with June +10% August compared with July -10% September compared with August -12% October compared with September-29% Also, If I look into the index stats on my WMT, I see that on October I have 50% less pages indexed compared with July. It has been dropping between 10% and 15% each week, as follows: | Date | Total indexed | Change 7/1/2012 | 1101 | -0.09% 7/8/2012 | 1020 | -0.07% 7/15/2012 | 1020 | 0% 7/22/2012 | 975 | -0.04% 7/29/2012 | 781 | -0.2% 8/5/2012 | 714 | -0.09% 8/12/2012 | 703 | -0.02% 8/19/2012 | 690 | -0.02% 8/26/2012 | 690 | 0% 9/2/2012 | 588 | -0.15% 9/9/2012 | 582 | -0.01% 9/16/2012 | 580 | 0% 9/23/2012 | 580 | 0% 9/30/2012 | 580 | 0% 10/7/2012 | 622 | 0.07% 10/14/2012 | 618 | -0.01% 10/21/2012 | 618 | 0% 10/28/2012 | 562 | -0.09% | The rankings for the 3 top keywords went (starting on April) From 5 to 15 From 8 to 27 From 5 to 39 At this point, I am not sure what causes the reduction in traffic.

Steady Traffic Decline over a 1 year period
Hello everyone, Need some help or suggestions. We have been experiencing a steady decline in our traffic for the last year or so. Beginning in October of 2011, we were averaging about 14,000 unique visitors per month (465/day). We are now averaging about 8,000 unique visitors per month (254/day). The thing that is really weird is that we do not have any type of a penalty from the big G. We have just seen a constant decrease in hits over the last 12 month period. Anywhere between 50-1,000 hits per month in decrease (continuously). This has just been frustrating, and no matter what we do, we cannot turn it around. Our whole website has been re-done in the last 3-4 months to see if we can stop this from continuing. We re-did a lot of the content, got rid of some pages that had keyword stuffing, we're now working on removing bad backlinks pointing to us. I am including an image with this post that will show you our gradual decline in traffic. I understand that the Google updates and refreshers have been coming out quite frequently (Panda, Penguin). But I also understand that most sites that have been affected by these algorithm changes, updates and refreshes have actually received penalties, sudden drops in traffic etc... We are still working on fixing the whole site before we submit a re-inclusion document to the big G. Does anybody in the SEOMOZ community have any suggestions or ideas as to what can be done to better our chances of getting back to normal traffic again? Everything that we did prior to the 2 latest Google updates has been according to what was legal and what worked in the past. Now, we have fixed the majority of those issues with our site, yet the decrease of traffic continues. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can provide you with our website URL if somebody would like to take a close look. Thanks ahead, Gaura lCx44.jpg
