This week's traffic is half of last week's.
Last week's was double the previous week.

I'm doing the opposite again! Been down for the last 6 days - lowest levels for two years...and then today - up up and away!
That's my third surge since August 1.....I hope this dance hits the 'up' during the busy season!!!

Cant seem to find their IP address, sorry or I would, honest!

I opted out of the program, but that hub is no longer showing in Google for the keywords that brought it all the traffic before EC messed it up. How can I...
