Hi guys,

I have a website that's about 8 weeks old and has been doing ok.

I noticed that yesterday, our traffic really dropped off. We only got about 1/3 of normal traffic.

I investigated and it looks like the one difference is that the number of searches performed for keyword "Not Provided" is the culprit.
We usually get between 250-350 searches per day under that "keyword" but yesterday was just 102.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I find it strange as if it were a general decrease in search because of the grace given to new sites, I would expect the decrease to be across the board.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
