Recently Experienced A Sharp Decline in Traffic

[TheFinBin]

Hey Everybody,

For those who don't know, I run http://FinancialBin.com. It's a news aggregation site geared toward finance, economics, entrepreneurship, and tech. We also include original content as well.

I wanted to put it out to the Fastlane crowd and ask if any of you have experienced a decline in traffic recently. I relaunched the site in late May of this year. I had steady growth and was between mostly 2,000 and 3,000 daily unique visitors.

Then, last Wed., Aug. 10, the data center that my hosting provider uses had a major power outage. However, traffic picked right back up on Thursday to the 2,000's. Saw a decline on Friday to around 1,800, which I attributed to people taking an early weekend.

But, Saturday and Sunday were terrible -- under 1,000. Today, I'm crawling along again.

I really don't know what to make of it. Not sure if it's the power outage, maybe people are on vacations, people have their kids going back to school soon, etc. I have no idea really.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I have also experienced a decline in the fill rate for Context Web prior to this going on as well.

Thanks,

Dave
