Page is a not externally linkable

Once we came out of supplemental hell, our traffic numbers picked up suddenly, and I also saw our pageviews/visit increase. Accordingly, I saw the site climb in the SERPs. However the problem that sits with any such conjecture like this is that the conclusions can never really be isolated from other contributing factors. For example, of course I was also building links and I had added some content a while back. Did the content finally hit? Or was it one of the links that carried quite a bit of weight? 2 of my top 10 referrers are extremely strange sites that are displaying AdWords AND Yahoo Search Ads on their sites simultaneously. My site does not do AdSense or YPN. The sites look too cookie-cutter to have gone through the rigorous Google search partner approval process. The traffic has been extremely low quality for us and results in 98% bounce rates, therefore the terrible # of pageviews/visitor (1.1) could be really impacting the site negatively. <snip> I fear some real click fraud here, b/c one of these sites are showing ads in a very disturbing way. Potential value (ppc) of this traffic has already exceeded $10k. Has anyone else had to deal with this issue? Should I re-post this question somewhere else (although I thought since it had to do w/traffic #'s & Google...)? Thanks in advance. [edited by: engine at 2:34 pm (utc) on April 12, 2006]
Does traffic influence Googlebot visitation frequency and, if so, to what degree?
Asking this question is almost impossible to answer. However, there is one definite & problematic situation that I found recently, and if traffic numbers matter, then the problem is extra-serious: Please guys, can anyone offer some help on this problem:
