AustrianOak,

No, my site is not seasonal and is 'service' oriented rather than product. Last Jan 11, 2006 I recorded 1169 Google search referrals to the site. Yesterday Jan 11, 2007 I had 22!

I read a post on another thread here at WW that is adding 'support' for the #2 observation.

Almost ALL of my sites have dropped from PR5 to PR4 while over the course of the last year, Backlinks pointing to the sites have virtually doubled.

PS - Yesterdays stats were still 'good' but NOT as robust as the previous 3 days.
