You need to discern if your 1000 hits came from referring links or keywords. Then you can sort this out a little easier.

thanks, i solved the problem and it seems the traffic is comming back, thanks for the tip and i added you some rep.

No problem, I'm glad I could help. Sometimes those kind of problems are only visible from another angle.

I know I just realized that. I'm sorry I'll dig in deeper tonight and see what we can find to help you.

What are you using to track your visitors?

Ritecounter, sitemeter, and Gostats

Certainly, you'll want to investigate & correct this problem, Noob, but at the same time, you really need to consider the value of those "hits." For them to be truly meaningful, IMO, you've got to be converting a lot of them to regulars and/or subscribers...

So from those stats can you tell if your hits dropped off from other links to your site or from searches? Knowing that, we can investigate what caused them to drop off. rodaniel is right, it is the content that keeps them.

No! Here I was thinking of not investigating at all. Of course I'm looking trying to look at the problem! What do you think was the purpose of this thread!

Right now I figured out that the main problem was that all my links were from my old blogger blog. My blogger domain redirected all of my visits to the actual website. I deleted it the day before my hits went down. Because of that, all of my links disappeared. So now I have to start over now!

Thx for everyone who gave me all of their wonderful advice.

I don't see any connection between your site getting indexed in directories and your traffic going up. The most possible scenario is that someone stumbled one of your posts and you got a flood off of that.

If people came off directories , your traffic would've been sustained.

One characteristic of social media traffic is that it wears off eventually within 24-48 hours, most of the time. I guess this was one.

Cheers!
