That is right, no lie. Very odd, anyone else get a boost from them today?

Same 5 per day (for competitve 1 word terms) for well ranked spots. But at goto, that would cost me $8.00 per day!

I saw an tick on the meter yesterday. Nothing as dramatic as 200 referals, but 10 in one day on a site that has seen maybe 2 in a good week.

I've seen a boost from them since Jan. 5. One site was pulling in about 50 a day. I'm still shocked at that. But I am getting more traffic from them than I ever had in the past.

Let's see, I got some, but how to add it all up? So many, many domains...:)

I think the traffic has been on the upswing, gulliver came round last month at some point, I seem to recall...I'm thinking this gradual up swing, a totla of approx. 58 since two weeks ago, is due to that.

Seen any press on them? Or mind sharing your trick? I don't usually try to work them much, and let the traffic fall where it might, but if you got that much of an increase, maybe I should actually put forth some effort.

Just to doublecheck, though. Is it bot driven, or honest to goodness surfers? If that's the case, it would more than justify me working in a northern light algo to my system...

Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers,

Um, I still am not sure if this was bot driven or real people. If it were bots, it was very sophisticated. They came in from several IPs and with different UAs. I need to do more investigating. I have somewhere around 10,000 top ranking pages in NL and typically I get maybe 40-60 visitors a day.

It's happening again today. So far about I have 130 visitors, and best I can tell these are real people.

About 1-2 per domain per day is what I've been getting from Northern.

little, are the kw's related to some explosion of a story somewhere?
I get those blasts from time-to-time, but it is usually across all engines.
