Checking out my stats this morning on Google Analytics I found that I've had a drastic drop in visitors from the search engines. I think this is since I put on the new template, when I deployed it I had forgotten to copy across my keyword and description meta tags and the Google Webmaster Tools verification code, so I think Google had stopped indexing my site properly. I have now fixed this so I hope I get my ranking in the search engines back, up until recently I was appearing on the first page of Google for the search term "make money on the internet". This could be a very costly mistake in terms of traffic and Adsense clicks, I have no idea how long it will take to reappear in the searches if I will at all.
I had been wondering why my traffic figures weren't going up as much as I thought they should I have been doing a lot of promotion lately and I was getting visitors from lots of other sources.

I don't dare to touch anything as my search engine visitors are slowly but steadily increasing. Hope you get them back soon.
I kind of wish I hadn't either now, but I hope the changes will be for the better in the long run.

I had the same problem after I changed the template on my site. I was getting about 500 visitors a day from Google, but lately I'll be lucky if I get 100.
