I host a site for a client, http://www.wingsoverkansas.com. It's pretty narrow in it's focus, but doesn't do to bad. Generally, on average, around 14,000-15,000 unique visitors with about 35,000 page views a month (at least according to AW Stats). August stats were down about 1,000 visitor but the page views were near averages. September looks to do about the same drop in visitors but might have a good size drop in page views - well below average.
Client is panicked, but I don't think I'll panic until end of October - if it continues. August wasn't his lowest month on stats, there was 1 other that did lower earlier in the year, the monthly stats do look like a roller coaster.
However, that still doesn't answer the question on why it might be happening. I don't see anything significant in the number of referrers from the search engines or a drop in spidering from them. but I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas on possibilities?
or for that matter, does anyone have any thoughts on what we should do to reverse a possible trend?
