Traffic tanked unexpectedly and quickly!!

aryanvr

Hello,

My site has been having almost good traffic for 2 years (not been less than 14k views per month). But for the last 3 weeks,something happened and traffic tanked. My earnings on a typical friday used to be around 20$, but now its around 1$. Could you please help decode the issue?

I'm not seeing any Google algorithm updates during that period. Your traffic is unusual in that you have traffic spikes on Fridays, which is presumably when the draws happen.

Have you checked Google Search Console?

Also, when I search for Emirates draw results, there's another site ranking ahead of you with a very similar logo but a shorter name.

Hi there is nothing unusual showing in search console. The site that appears first is the actual draw website and they have always been coming first. Friday is when draw happens followed by Saturday and Sunday for other draws too.
Could you please advise what else can i do?

aryanvr Just to be clear, there are no errors in Console? Have you spoken to your host about downtime either?

If there's no errors in console or downtime from your host, then you need to focus SEO efforts to try and improve the site's ranking and then grow traffic again. Our SEO tools should help you get started on that: https://pubdash.ezoic.com/nicheiq/overview

Aside from that, were you purchasing traffic in the past and you've now ended the campaign? That'd be something else that could cause a traffic drop.
