WordPress Views

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there, for some reason our blog views this week are abnormally low? We typically get 500-700 views per day and this week we are at under 300. Might anyone know what could be happening?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi @cristinabentley,

    There could be several reasons for this change.

    Possible Causes and Troubleshooting

    1. Traffic Sources
      • Check your Stats Dashboard.
      • Look at where your visitors are coming from (search engines, social media, etc.). Has there been a decline in a particular traffic source?
    2. Search Engine Visibility
      • If search engine traffic is low, it could be due to changes in SEO rankings.
      • Ensure you’re using tags and categories appropriately and that your posts are optimized with relevant keywords.
    3. Recent Changes
      • Have there been any recent changes to your site, such as new themes, plugins, or content restructuring? These could impact your visibility or user experience.
    4. Content Calendar
      • If you post less frequently or during different times, this might impact traffic. Review the frequency and timing of your blog posts to ensure consistency.
    5. External Events
      • Sometimes external factors, like seasonal trends or competitor activity, can affect viewership.

    Suggestions to Boost Views

    • Promote your blog posts on social media or email newsletters to encourage traffic.
    • Engage with your audience in comments or forums to drive repeat visits.
    • Consider using WordPress.com’s Premium or Business Plan tools, such as SEO enhancements, to optimize your site further.

    I hope that was helpful! Good luck!

    Best,
    Meo

    Thank you Meo. Also, we share the blog link directly through our email announcement so that normally increases the views right away the same day, so this is why we were also confused. Do you have any other insight on why this could be?
