Very, very odd for me.

Started seeing increase crawl on 3/16 until 3/21 and not much since. Traffic went down on 3/21 and has slowly risen back up to pre-3/21.

Seeing completely different rankings. Some pages are listed to where they were pre-panda 1.0 while other pages fell flat and down the SERPs. Two pages which held the top result are now only top 10 and hovering between top 5-10 only.

But traffic is basically the exact same. Very, very strange! Truly makes me believe that Google throttles traffic to websites.

Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I made a TON of changes since mid-January and am hoping for some sort of panda recovery.

Even the subcategory page I mentioned before which was being taken over in the SERPs by a page it linked to is now back to being listed, only instead of the page 2 it originally had ~6 months ago is on page 5.
