I have an interesting story for you and maybe you or someone else reading this can shed some light on the situation.I had a blog on a dedicated but old and outdated server that ran great for a little over a year, in the past 4 weeks my traffic has been around 900 page views per day. My server was crawling badly, so I decided to get a better server. The new server I purchased is with the same company and uses Plesk, just like the old server. I performed a Plesk migration using their tool which transfers everything from one server to another.I then changed my name servers to match the IP addresses of the new server and went to my blog and everything worked seamlessly.Now here is where it becomes interesting. The 1st day of being on the new server I had 713 page views, day 2 was 252, day 3 was 176, and today I have 104 page views so far. I have checked with just about every DNS lookup tool that I could find and they all resolve properly. I can even search for chris-fletcher.com on google and click on it and it goes to my blog without issues.I can't imagine what the problem could be? My subscriber base has also dropped from about 130 subscribers to 39.Did I miss a step somewhere? It is very depressing to work on something for over a year and build yourself up to nearly 30k page views per month to getting a little over a hundred a day. Please if you or anyone else has a solution or could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Also one thing to note is that I only moved to a different server with a different IP address. I did not change the domain name or the name servers. I only changed the IP addresses that the name servers are pointing to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chad,

It has, it's not like Smashing Mag or WebDesigner Depot but some people seem to love it.Thanks for being a reader Suda – Thanks very much, I appreciate it – I mean I am generally a positive guy – and I kept going forward, just thinking that it had to lead somewhere.

I do agree, generating traffic in unique ways is where we should concentrate on...everything gets saturated, but it is an interesting point, I am always up for new ways of generated more organic traffic.thanks again Hey Dave,
