: What is the reason for this site's sudden drop in traffic? My one site's traffic has dropped in single day from around 4000 to 800 visitors. My other sites are getting normal visitor count.

I agree with Velvet,

It may be because of New Year holiday or

Your website was down. or

Google has rolled out another Panda Update.

Check all the files which have been indexed and see is any of your files has been de-indexed. If that's the case then some is going wrong in your website, and you should explain more if you want us to help you.
Check and see if your ranking has been dropped in SRP (search result page).

EDIT
It mostly seems that Google has penalized your site for a specific reason!
Give your URL maybe we could address the problem.

Wow, that is a sudden drop!

The only things that I can think of is:


Is it a seasonal drop? ie. Did you notice a similar change around
the holidays last year?
Has the website experienced any downtime/load issues?
Perhaps Google has rolled out another Panda Update. There were murmurings of another one being rolled out last week and into this week. Wait and see how traffic changes over the next week of so. If things remain the same, Google probably has changed the 'value' of the site and you might need to think of ways to make it more content rich. (All this year, previously high traffic websites with little unique textual content have experienced suden drastic reductions in traffic.)
