  • Ihr Seo: Hello Friends, ;

    We had Redesigned our website on monday and now i am seeing fall down in TRAFFIC. Any suggestion please ?
  • Ryan Cramer: What is the drop in traffic? 5%, 10%, 50%?

    Depending on the percentage, I could probably tell you what your changes were, why your visitors have dropped, and how long you have to wait for a rebound. I may also be able to tell you what you can do to shorten the wait or slow the fall.
  • Ihr Seo: It is 31, 31, 33, 14, 0  ;From Monday to Friday.  ;  ;  ;  ;  ;Friday I have not work on the website. ;
  • Ryan Cramer: OK, since it seems that you visitors are getting back to normal, my assumption is that you did the update and alerted Google to the changes.  ;It doesn't seem that the change was significant enough for a "hard refresh" on your index, and with a "0" for Friday, it doesn't look like there is a major url change. It is like you said, a "Redesign" and not much of a structural change (that could take longer).

    If my assessment is correct, next time you do a redesign, don't let Google know, and the reassessment will be gradual - meaning you won't see the visitor drop.
