    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi All,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In AA i see my organic traffic is declining over the past few month and simultaneously direct traffic is increasing. Hence, the over all website traffic is not affected.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Preliminary hygiene reasons checked:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Decrease in Search volume from the brand perspective - No change, search volume is healthy&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Is there similar effect on other channels - No, other channels do not show any sign of decline or increase&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Is there a url redirect problem - no, everything is fine&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now, what i suspect and want your views -&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. I suspect when privacy policy is accepted on the landing page, it does not carry the refer name and hence direct traffic is increasing and natural traffic is decreasing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. &lt;SPAN lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"&gt;Filters that are used for analytics profile might remove some legitimate organic traffic due to RegEx formulas employed to add pages to the profile. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"&gt;Appreciate your support or guidance.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"&gt;Thanks&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you have any redirects that were recently put in place on your site? Could you provide a search term that we could search and click through to your site to check if the referral value is sticking?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
