Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I stand corrected.  Thanks "Agents of Value"

Thank you for your kind replies vzPRO and Andrea!

I actually just received a reply from the "SEO" company.  They're denying that they created those links.  I don't believe them.  Besides them, there's no reason why anybody else would make those links.

I guess I have my hands full.

Thanks again.

Wow! lol...made my day.  I hate cold calls from these type of dimwits, half of the time they have no idea what they're talking about.

I am confused on what is going on.

I recently converted my website to wordpress.  I kept the same url structure to the best of my abilities (without the .html) and 301 all .html to / So whatever was www.domain.com/page.html to www.domain.com/page/

The old CMS was a proprietary cms done by the company who originally designed the website.  It was poorly put together and was really buggy.  I decided to move to wordpress due to many limitations particularly for SEO.

Now traffic is down about 10% and looks like the downward trend will continue, also, impressions are down by about 75%.

Any thoughts on what could be happening?

Thanks Dana! I have 50 keywords because this a very local campaign. The audience i want to reach are local. Thanks again!

Hi Webby,

Interesting observation there.  I've been doing very little link building and my clients also rank well.  I am relatively new to the industry so I cant really offer much input.  However, your post makes me feel better as I was noticing the very same thing.  I'd like to hear what others have to say.

Thanks for posting this question.

The thing is. Besides the url difference (.html to /) the content is identical, meta tags, headers, etc is the same as before the migration. I noticed the drop in traffic the very day after the wordpress version of the site went live. I am so bummed.

Yeah, I am with you on that.  I doubt google updates rankings that fast.

However, I switched the site the night of august 22nd and on the 23rd I noticed a decline and keep seeing the traffic decline, traffic is actually down 25% (not 10%) from last month.

If it isn't caused by the migration then what is it?
