I just noticed that my blog search engine traffic dropped to zero, and am wondering if anyone experienced that and what could be the reason. Thanks

In Google Analytics, check the Benchmarking stats to see if people in the same industry are experiencing low traffic.

It might also be due to time of the year/holidays.

Could be an algorithm update. Any sketchy backlinks?

Check that you have Google analytics set up properly, and check that your still indexed. If everything seems fine but you've just lost rankings then there has been another Google update...

I believe it's an Google update as many already said. For some weeks ago I saw a massive increase of traffic from Google to my site, it was several hundred new visitors and then just 2 - 3 days later all went back to normal.

January will be better! I noticed similar issues with a few of my sites. Dec was worst in terms of traffic. I did check my rankings nothing was dropped but the traffic looked slim.

Maybe a google algorithm glitch
