Big drop in traffic on 18 Octposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Hi mozzers,
One of my client’s sites has a big drop in traffic. The site is topdealshotel.com. The drop was in 18 Oct and I know that there weren’t any algo changes.
The site has 20+ language versions all optimized properly for all languages. In june I made some big changes in site’s structure and I also changed all URLs.
After these new improvements the organic traffic started to grow naturally and very good, but dropped drastically in last 30 days.
Unfortunately I couldn’t 301 old URLs into new ones and in WMT at crawl stats I have almost 2 million 404 errors.
The site has many hotel pages with content that is from hotelscombined.com, but we also add our own content for all pages.
In city pages we have unique content, written by our copywriters. I also made a reconsideration request and there was no manual penalty. I do not have any idea for this drop in traffic. Do you have any suggestions?
