Impressions in GWT have dropped to nothing, but my page is still ranking normally
-
Hello Everyone,
I'm seeing a strange issue. On the 22nd of this month Webmasters tools started showing 6 impressions per day down from hundreds or thousands. I thought I was hit with a huge penalty for my keywords but they are still ranking where they have for the past month or two on Google.
In analytics my organic traffic is stable. It just seems to be GWT showing the massive drop. My domain is: http://Patchofland.com
Any Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Hi Andy,
I can't tell you how much you rock.. but it's a lot. Thank you so much. I think I know the problem now. Your title says "freelance SEO consultant". Are you still freelancing? I'd like to work something out with you if so.
Best,
Jason

OK, so I contacted John Mueller from Google for you, pointed him at this question, and this is what he said:
"Your site is currently indexed as https (yay!), do you have the https version verified in Webmaster Tools?"

I don't know or any issues with webmaster tools at the moment, but that doesn't mean there isn't. Perhaps post a request on the webmaster forums if no-one here is aware of anything?
If traffic is stable though, I wouldn't worry at this stage.

Analytics code removed and still collecting data
Google analytics code was removed from a website and then it started tracking a couple of days later to only stop again? How can that happen? Has the developer not removed the old code properly? Can the code be injected remotely?

Installing Google Analytics tracking code on Landing Pages
Hello, I have my landing pages located on a separated subdomain (LP.example.com). I've created a new property in Google Analytics for that subdomain.

Why did my home page fall off of google rankings?
My home page at www.smt-associates.com has been ranked well for various key word phrases for years. I've tried to optimize it for the search "Crystal Lake CPA Firm" and it always had ranked number 1-2. Now it doesn't even rank in the top 5 pages (actually I don't know which page it falls on). I did an on-page report card and it has an A rating. So, what is preventing Google from ranking my home page on page 1? There's not that much competition so this should be an easy ranking for me. I don't know how ling this has not been listed, but I did modify my site about 12-18 months ago with a new WP theme. Could the theme be the problem?

How to Turn Google Analytics Into Your Own Rank Tracker Using Custom Variables
