Pageviews dropped since s2Member install

My developer recently installed several pages requiring permissions from s2Member (on 11/29). Most of the pages aren’t published yet, but it is somehow affecting how the pages are crawling on Google. My pageviews have since completely tanked.

The only thing than makes the pages unique from the rest of my site are the following:
1) Pages are locked with permissions from s2Member (the pages are part of a subscription program)
2) There is no SEO associated with the pages thus far.

Please let me know if there is some way I can rectify this quickly.

Thanks very much, Traci

Hello Traci,

Currently s2Member will also block Google and other search engines from accessing your content, as far as I’m aware, I may be wrong.

I just want to clarify that statement: it’ll block the search engines from accessing the content that you protected with s2Member, not all content. That’s because the search engine is viewed as any other non-logged in visitor of your site, thus not having access to content that requires him to be logged in or have a higher level in s2Member.

Oh OK, yeah that clarifies stuff. :)
