I check my analytics info maybe twice a month as nothing much has changed over these past several months.
this morning everything changed.
checked analytics and right off the bat noticed a 30% plummet in traffic across the board (starting since early november). 50% on some days (but I think some days it might be because of thanksgiving holiday)
Didnt waste time panicking just started going over all my analytics data (entrance keywords, etc) and after about a good hour of going over everything basically this is what is happening: I am not ranking for certain keywords that I was before (big traffic words) BUT I am now ranking for keywords that I never did before too. in a sense everything kind of flipped on me....
here is the strange part...my adsense earning really havent changed much. This is a reason why I never bothered to check anlytics earlier my earnings looked normal from day to day so I figured nothing was wrong.
could it be that the new words im ranking for are better (maybe a better quality of traffic/more targeted?) because 1/3 of my traffic just dissapeared and my earnings havent seemed to take that big of a hit at all.
all in all this panda shit is scary....
