Yup, just you. Connection OK? Not been fiddlings with your hosts file, or something equally ludicrous?

I think it was down over the weekend. Judging by the very quiet amount of traffic coming my way.

Noticed the same on Saturday for traffic from google.co.uk - there's a discussion going on in

"October 20 Recovery - reversal of October 1 update? "
for all the keywords I follow positions look the same yet traffic down. My friends in the States suggest a "long tail" possible problem with I am looking at now.

Three days in and I'm enjoying the benefits tremendously of whatever Google did on the 20th. My weeks spent further optimising and expanding my site has paid off.

I've seen immediate traffic increases with highly targeted traffic.

I'd lost 95% of my traffic from the last Google update and I'm just praying that this isn't just a short term gain. My fingers are well and truly crossed.

I'm expecting these Google updates to be monthly and so the hard work has to continue.
