And was your site down or something?

SERPS = Search Engine Ranking pages

Whoa...great coincidence.
You know i also had a unbelievable drop in traffic,almost during the same period.
Almost exactly the same thing happened to me,only difference,mine was worse.
I was doing at ~2.1k/week and suddenly it dropped to ~300/week.Now its picking up again. I too could not guess what was happening.


Anybody else.

you see it could probably happen when you don't upadate your blog or website frequently. When a user views your website/blog for the first time he may have found a good post and read it. And when the user comes back the other day for more he gets the same content that was yesterday. So if that lasts more days then he will get bored and get off your website/blog.

So this could be the reason of the drop of the website traffic.
More reasons might be less publicity, commenting problems, and more to go then *problogger.com .

Page Rank is given depending upon the no. of backlinks the page has. Quality of backlinks also matters

Pagerank doesnot matter much. Its traffic that matters. I can make PR3 of any site in 3 months.

having it for past 4-5 months...

why ??
4-5 months old website should not have any problem.

Google has a policy to blacklist new sites. if your site is new, and gets large amount of traffic, than google may blacklist your site.
