Traffic on heavily hit post drops to zero?
-
my hits are down a little to about 50+ but i’m still happy with them as they never went over 65/70
-
I thought my blog was getting boycotted.
I have noticed that the blog stats have not been normal for months with the number on the Dashboard page lagging behind the Stats page. I get a “false” message before the Stats come up.
Also, my security is sending me love notes telling me some clicks in WordPress are not “safe” that the page is not what it says it is or something. I went to the main wp.com page and was aked if I only wanted to show what was safe or not? I got a very weird “safe” page.
Is there new management at WP or cost cutting? Something seems off. My stats are not stellar but have been 30 to 50 a day and yesterday was a terrible 16. I have 5 whole hits today and I have noticed not much has been coming in from searches lately like I had been getting. I just thought my latest posts sucked.

I’m not actually making progress. It’s just that we’re looking at all kinds of possibilities. My own feeling is that this is linked to a big RSS error, which is linked to a not showing on the global tag page problem, which causes a huge drop in SEO; as well, an RSS problem would prevent the blog from turning up in Facebook and Tumblr etc when you’ve subscribed them to that feed.
It should also be reflected in your own readers being unable to recieve your blog via RSS or email subscriptions; I’m not in contact with my subscribers, but if you are, ASK them.

I also believe it’s somehow (via RSS) related to this issue:

@downcastmysoul Something is, indeed, off – it’s WordPress, offline – the second outage recently.
Rain, re your – and others’ – Google problems, any possibility that this might be connected to reblogging? Someone at the time it was introduced suggested it would mess with Google.
-
I’m VERY familiar with reblogging and trust me, that is NOT a factor in this case. For one thing, nobody’s reblogged anything from raincoaster.com at all.

I have a bad feeling about this. Stats still ricdiculously low.. Now an outage? I read the sticky and feel there was sabatoge to WordPress. I was on a message board attached to a giant message board company that kept going down and getting attacked to the point nothing worked: giant outages. The powers that be can and do control the Internet.

Harry, we’ve been over this a thousand times: it’s because of the way you’ve set up Pages and keep changing permalinks. Stop. And then wait six weeks.

My blog has copped a beating over the past week. Here are the daily visit stats:
August 3: 1217
August 4: 903
August 5: 964
August 6: 806
August 7: 783
August 8: 327
August 9: 110
August 10: 62 (so far, it’s just after noon in Australia)I’d been averaging around 6000-7000 visits a week all year, and suddenly it’s plummeted, I get the sense it’s a Google issue however, as “Search Engine terms” have gone from 7-8 terms a day in double figures (some as high as 30) to very low single figures…
Anyone know why?

Ours dropped to a all time low too, i do everything correct to keep it up there somewhat yet and still its so low on the stats chart if the stats were any lower they would be half way to China.
I will be doing a new post soon which will include different methods i used for previous posts that sent the stats through the roof at one point….if that does’nt work then i’ll certainly know the issues is not on our end.
