It's been about 9-10 months since we made the switch from vB4 to XF. We expected a significant drop in traffic since the search engines would have to re-index everything but it has not recovered. In fact, guest traffic has continued to drop. In the final days before the cutover, we had some 45,000 pages indexed with Google. Today we have less than 30,000. The site hasn't shrunk - we have over 40,000 threads and the number of posts continues to grow on a regular basis as member activity has been about the same if not a bit higher but search traffic is a mere fraction of what it used to be. We have a sitemap generator installed and there are no errors to speak of in Google Webmaster Tools and our PageRank has not dropped.
Mods/add-ons are minimal at less than 10 so I have a feeling that we may have some settings that aren't correct. What things could we look at to make sure that everything is being indexed as it should?
Thanks
