Site unaffected by algo changes until this month- why?

[diogenes]

I had 2 websites. One of these I trashed as it took a pretty big hit from Panda and was virtually wiped out by Penguin. The other site is over 4 years old and until this month had miraculously remained unaffected by all the changes. In fact, my traffic this October was better than it had ever been. This month my traffic is way, way down. I don't know if this is related to the hurricane (my business is in NYC) or if it is just a factor that web traffic to any site can fluctuate considerably from month to month, or if  there is a more insiduous reason. Most of my links are directory links, including some good ones like DMOZ and  BOTW , and the most high quality directories I could find. The site is www.affordable-uncontested-divorce.com. . Does anyone have any ideas?

thx

Does anyone have any ideas?

You can do the most important research yourself.

You lost traffic. So ask yourself....

What traffic sources are lower now?  What rankings are lower?

What specific information can you get yourself from analytics and watching your rankings?

We can only guess because we have no information about the history of your site nor do we have access to your data.

Hi Paul,

Do you have year over year data in analytics so you can compare Nov performance this year to last year. It might be seasonal or perhaps an over optimization penalty for the keyword "uncontested divorce". I  see it used on the page 7-8 times. Wait till next month and if the drop in traffic continues then you may have suffered the penalty. Try redoing the on site elements and reduce the keyword density. Hopefully that works.
