Traffic Levels Down?

Anyone else seeing less traffic this month? I'm sure it was a LOT do with being the Summer where across the board searches are down it has been documented.

What really stinks is that with less impressions competitors become desperate and bid higher driving up the prices.

Curious if anyone else was seeing the same thing in their industry.

Am actually seeing increased traffic from OV over the past month (with no changes to campaign). Was just about to ask whether it was specific to my keywords, or perhaps OV acquired more search PPC inventory to show ads.

We have experienced an increase in clicks in our Over US account.

Many are coming from one or two sites that have been picked up by someone who just shows Over results on the first page.

For instance if you type in www.partialnameouregion.com you will reach a site that only has Over results of that regional term with a number of related reults in the side bar.

As we do not have "content" activated, only search, I wonder if this is correct. This is not a search function but a url entry. Unfortunately we can't disitnguish whether these are "good" clicks or not. One would have to assume they are however the sudden volume makes me nervous.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a search function?
