Compare the folowing analytics reports from before and after the change:


traffic sources
landing pages (if your urls have changed try comparing page titles)

content drilldown (compare visits, not pageviews)


See if you can isolate the differences to particular sources of traffic or parts of your website.

This is normal if you are changing sites you will have problems in Google and also your rank can go down to 0.

Can be lot of reasons this are just some general tips.

Check that you don't have any 404 links you can check from Google analitycs for any 404 link. You can also try the httpfox addon in firefox to see if all responses to the site are 200 and there are no problems with any link

create the new site map and import the new site map to google

check your robots.txt and be sure you are allowing all the directories and files you want

see in googles webmasters tools that you don't have link duplication's

do your own counter from the server or your site to see the real traffic.
