I was looking over the analytics of close to 200 sites because we have seen a large decrease in traffic. The 200 sites are all independently owned by clients but all began to hurt last year.
Looking over analytics from every site I can pinpoint that on September 29th all the traffic stopped, like someone flipped a switch.
Prior we were seeing 800-1000 hits from Google a month per site and now we are lucky to get 100-150 hits?
What the hell happened? The sites all use the same structure but each site is on its own domain name and each site is managed separately.
An example is www.SearchBuford.com
