My apologies for not being around for the last couple of years, but I finally retired from the Webmastery game. Bet you all thought I had kicked the bucket?
I have a wee problem that I have been trying to resolve for the last little while, and hoped someone may have an idea or two.
Background: I have a blog [A Pipe and a Keyboard] where I post solutions to technical problems that I have encountered. It serves as a reference for myself and for anyone who may have had similar problems. It gets a steady trickle of traffic from Google searches and apparently has the resolution to a couple of major problems - installing Abobe Air on Linux 64 bit, and a fix for a common problem in Wordpress.
The Problem: On the 26th September last, traffic to the site effectively ceased. The site itself is perfectly OK and is running normally, but hasn't received a single visit from a search, where normally it would receive a couple of dozen a day.
So far:
I have checked the site thoroughly for malware [I was once caught by a hacked .htaccess file that caused similar results].
I have run WP-Security and it comes up as clean as a whistle.
I checked the site on Vebtools.com and Onlinealley.com and both say the site is blacklisted. However, when I analyse the site from Google's Webmaster area it throws up no problems at all. I have tried all the Diagnostics and it gets a clean bill of health.
Has anyone any ideas?
Help!
