Would you be kind to update us about the boost in traffic of your site(s) which you reported in previous posts.

I agree with BillyS. It does feel like I've been released from the sandbox. I don't monitor googlebot activity but it also feels like as google crawls the site my pages are receiving some kind of "freshbot" boost.

Starting in the beginning of June my traffic went from 250 visitors/day to about 5000 visitors/day. It has ramped up gradually.

A few years ago I was getting about 4000 visitors/day. I never determined why I had a sudden loss of traffic. My site was a vertical portal/directory but could be perceived to have the footprint of a scraper.

The traffic seems to be sticking so far.

I wonder if the boost is related to Google dealing with arbitrage sites and they lifted a penalty on my site?
