Situation:

1) New subdirectory with a number of pages on an older, well-established domain. (domain.com/sub/index.html pointing to subpages)
2) Some inbounds links to domain.com/sub/index.html
3) Adding about 25 articles every 2 days. All fresh written content by article writers. In total now about 330 pages.
4) Made no changes at all in the last 2 weeks (not even add new articles).
5) Clean SEO, nothing spammy, no strange links etc.
6) Look at the traffic stats:

See the drop on 12->24 October 2004? I thought it was Freshbot dropping the pages. Especially when on the 25th etc. the traffic started picking back up I certainly believed that conclusion.

But look at the last 3 days -> ALL TRAFFIC GONE?!

Argh! :( Does anyone have similar experiences?
