Hi

Firstly, hello, I am new, and secondly, sorry if this is the wrong forum for this thread.

Anyway, my site is 6 months old, and I have most of my pages listed on Google. But today traffic has suddenly ceased, and my site is now listed way down. I was receiving 2-300 visits a day over the last week or so.

Is this a normal dip in visits? Part of the "sand box shake" or "dance" or is something likely to be wrong? I did change my sitemap.xml the other day - could that be a problem? I also added some new Affiliate ads (all in keeping with the theme of the site) - can these make a difference?

I really am hoping it is just a glitch. The more hits I get, the more I want to improve my site. But if traffic stops, it suddenly seems all is lost! Catch 22 situation I guess.

If it helps answer the query, then the site in question is set as my homepage.

Cheers,

Jon.
