Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Very interesting! I'm not sure if this explains some of my problems or not but very interesting that it happened on around the same time as my search traffic declined.

I also run another site with a similar amount of traffic in a different industry that has been uneffected. I have dilligently tried to create good content and generally good link building practices for both sites but one has been punished and the other not.

One site is a hotel website with twice weekly blog posts and the other (with the problems) is more actively changing - a blog based on renewable energy/solar power/innovation/design etc with new posts every 2nd day.

I'll be continuing to build good content for both sites while scratching my head as to where I went wrong here + hope things will turn around...

Thanks for the tips Joel!

There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary in the backlinks - as in there don't seem to be any new ones? While a few keywords have shifted down but not dramatically. The site is still indexed by google (I haven't received an e-mail) and a google site: search returns urls from the domain. The page scores a speed of 91/100 (firebug). The organic search traffic coming into the site is now 1/10 of what it was last week... The investigation continues....

Since the 6th June there has been a serious drop in organic search impressions and click throughs in my GA + webmaster accounts for my website. This leads me to believe my site has been punished for something?

Where would be the best place to start diagnosing the issue causing the drop in search traffic?
