Hello,

Sometimes, after some hours, i see a grammatical error in one of my articles. But after correcting them im losing a lot of views. Why is this and how can i solve this?

Thank you.

Not theme related, you might check with Google forums.

Also, check your site stats, either from Google Analytics and/or from your web server stats package, to see what kind of traffic you’re getting and from where.

I don’t have this issue here, as I often catch a typo, or update something, and reads actually go up a couple of days later as the social stuff I do when sharing propoagates more and stuff in Google News and elsewhere “settle.”

You could setup your tracking, then monitor what’s going on — for example if it’s all bot traffic, then do update on test post, then monitor what changes specifically.

“views” is a broad term, and can apply to unique visitors, bot traffic, hackers, scrapers, etc. — if you lose bot traffic, but not unique visitors, then nothing actually wrong. If you lose bot traffic, they may choose to not keep indexing it as new if the “updated date” changed relative to position in the RSS feed.

I don’t work here – just food for thought anyway.
