    Large traffic drop from search engines - what should I check?

    Hi, so from last Friday on there's been a severe drop in traffic from search engines. Where I've been getting about 3,500 visits a day, I am now getting around a thousand.

    The last time this happened (last year around May) my site was infected and visitors were getting redirected. I was not able to catch and resolve the issue until a month or so after it started.

    I've tried to see if my site is being redirected now, also asked other members of my forum to check - all seems well so far.

    I used the rogue plugin checker, and looked through the list manually - all seems to check out just fine. Nothing I can't recognize.

    Any other thoughts on what I should do?

    Yikes, I just noticed my page rank dropped from 4 to 3? Was I punished by google for something?
