Hi all - I've been reading the threads here in an attempt to find some answers as to why I have observed a significant drop in traffic in my website in the last 3 days.

Here's my story - I've got a small website hosted in the US using an Australian domain (com.au), and over 90% of visitors were from Australia. Google Analytics tells me my traffic (daily visitors) has dropped by 90% since March 9 (was doing an average of 200 visitors May 6/7/8, then it suddenly dropped down to approx 20 on May 9, and it has been like that ever since - yes, its only a small site).

I've checked how many pages are in the Google index via searching for site:[domain] and this number has not changed. My PR has not changed according to the Google toolbar (although I don't believe this is updated all that regularly anyway). I've searched for a couple of my keywords to see where the results place me, although to be honest they were never that good anyway. The site has been up constantly with no downtime.

I just cannot explain the sudden drop in traffic. Can anyone suggest any other tests or checks to perform, or reasons as to what might cause this?
