I don't know. I have ten sites of my own that I watch, plus another 12 or so that I keep a really close eye on for clients, and I just went through everything this morning, and if anything, everyone's UP in traffic since Friday. Most of them are business sites that slow down on the weekends, so it's really hard to say for sure yet, but they all had a pretty good Monday - much better than usual. Even the one site that got hit hard in March is doing well with this one.

None of these sites has many links, not even the ones that get 40k visits per day. They tend to be catalog driven, and there's no reason (and really no place) for them to linked much of anywhere - the only thing that seems to exist for such sites is spammy B2B directories.

All of them have text links (see other forum post).

My three new sites still are only showing the home pages, but all the other domains range in age from 1994 to 2003, so they've all been around awhile.
