Hi,
This is not necessarily DNN related but I wanted to hear your thoughts anyway. I noticed a very abrupt drop in traffic on PokerDIY from the 23rd. The results seem to be consistient across my various logging tools - GetClicky, G. Analytics, Sitelog and new user signups were all down heavily, and I can't figure out why. It still has not really recovered - any ideas?
My first thought was that a Google index shuffle had taken place. None of my sites dropped in PR, and I still seem to be at the top or near the top for all my relevant keyword, so I am not sure about this.
The Iwebtool site checker showed a drop in links back to PokerDIY - it was 9000 last week (I take asnapshot every Monday) and now it's 2500! I assume this was a Google shuffle? Has anyone else noticed a drop in traffic from the 23rd? Here are the 2 days before and after this date, and my signups per day:

The 22nd was an exceptional day, but Views are normally over 10k per day and now that are around 5/6k.

Any suggestions? I tried to find some info about a Google update around that time, but as far as I could see there was a PR update last month and nothing this month (unless it took some time?)
