Have you moved scripts into the footer recently? Have you added any other Java or plug-ins that could stop your analytics script from loading? It may be something very simple. “ Reply With Quote #27 mla0712 Public Member Originally Posted by wonderpunter What do your server stats show? Are you looking at Google Analytics?

If it was a configuration problem I wouldn’t see any traffic at all? But anyway, fair point, I will check that to be sure. “ Reply With Quote #32 mla0712 Public Member Originally Posted by wonderpunter If you are checking Google Analytics, it is possible.

It turned out we had an alert in Google Analytics saying we had 343 pages with no valid tracking code. It hasn’t been tested/ fixed yet, but I can’t imagine that wasn’t what caused the problem in the first place. So, no penalty or quality update here. Just foolishness. “ Reply With Quote #29 wonderpunter Private Member Originally Posted by mla0712 If it was a configuration problem I wouldn’t see any traffic at all?

We tend to look at positions and SERPs but miss that the server had some issues, or maybe the site doesn’t load up in Chrome, or whatever. Another thing: Football (soccer), Champions League, basketball, etc., all ended around the middle of May or beginning of June. If you are focused on those, that might be the answer. “ Reply With Quote #31 WagerPod Private Member I don’t use pop-ups either; they’re a pet hate of mine. It’s a shame because I know people who do very well with them. “ Reply With Quote From the GPWA Forums
