Default Sudden drop in traffic. (Forever-Video.com)

I've had this website up for almost a year now and recently the incoming traffic dropped 90%. I am wondering if my layout, design or content is causing search engines and listings to "ban" my site. I haven't made any significant changes to the website. I've only added a link or two. My traffic per day in September is almost 10x my traffic per day in October. Please advise.

First off, the layout is not viewable on a 800x600 screen (at least not my laptop).

Second, your links probably aren't being credited anymore, since you have way too many links just for one page. Google is starting to discredit pages just with links, and the "safe" number to keep links to a page should be kept around 20-30.

Just to be sure, check those links that you recently added, and make sure that the sites you linked to aren't being penalized, since that can penalize you, too.

Also, Google finally updated their PR system, and that can affect you, too. G is probably imposing stricter regulations on links, and you might be suffering from it. Although PR is only a small calculation in your SE rankings, it could be something else directly. By how much did you drop in the SERPS?

If all of the above proves irrelevant, you could just be experiencing some "ups and downs" in your traffic. If that is the reason, then your traffic should go back up again!

Hope that helps...
