Any qualified guess why/how your traffic came back ;-)

Something that was broken got fixed. :-)

For what it's worth, my site's rankings had been almost rock-solid in Google for at least two years--through Florida and other updates that had a lot of people gnashing their teeth. Then came a 30% jump in Google referrals with Allegra (in February), followed by a huge crash during the little-heralded and unnamed update of late March (when a number of travel information sites that I'm familiar with got hit). Recovery occurred in late May, and I'm currently at my post-Allegra levels.

Bottom line: I have no idea why the site slipped or why it came back, but I do know that it wasn't the only information site in its sector to get whacked and resurrected.
