One day I had 300 views but I did not have 300 views in the following whole week despite of publishing 3 or 4 posts.On the other hand my site traffic is good these days without posting anything.

I'm still looking at some well-below average numbers, even with a new post. My traffic hasn't picked up at all despite a triple digit subscription base. If things don't get back to normal soon I may just contact support and see if they'll do a quick check to make sure there's nothing wrong.

Not that I get a lot anyway, but mine has dropped to one in the last three days.

I don't expect my subscribers to read every single post, but it's just very odd when you consistently get over 100 views on post days, to barely break 50 the last couple of times, and even finish the day in the teens on non-post days which usually get me around 60-70.

So, again, it's entirely possible that people are tired of my blog and have moved on to bigger and better things for awhile, but it seems like the drop was too sudden for that.

And it appears others are experiencing the same thing.

I was not here on my blog for 10 days and I saw more than average visitors on my site in that duration. These fluctuations are normal.

Today's steep drop came out of nowhere, which is why I'm scratching my head. If it keeps up, I'll be contacting support to see if there's anything strange going on. Until then, I'm blaming solar flares. ;-)

Not sure why it is flat-lining unless the material is uninteresting.

I usually get -roud 150 on post days. I just posted another one that is on my queue for Thursday just to see what would happen.

I only know that today's numbers are well-below my average. I haven't seen a single digit day since my first post. I know know what to think.

I usually pull around 60-80 on a non-new post day (and its been that way for months) and right now I have 5. Something is definitely off - this is not normal at all.

What's going on?

I don't want to be smug or make myself out to be more awesome than I probably am, but I normally get between 100-150 views a day. Right now I only have 7.

I don't want people to visit my blog out of sympathy (though you might get a good chuckle or two). I was just wondering if other people might be experiencing the same thing.
