    See if you can see where your visitors were coming from. The traffic pattern looks like maybe you were featured on a blog or social networking site. As time goes by your link drops off the front page. This is pretty normal.

    If you have access to referral logs, this should be pretty easy to identify.

    Dig deepers. Looks like your spike was probably Yahoo Slurp.

    First you should look to see if it was a particular user agent (yahoo slurp or googlebot for example).

    If it was one of your proxy sites, it might have been listed at the top of a list somewhere for awhile.

    If you had 100 different referrers and they all increased and all went down together, it is a very strange issue (unless they all pull for the same list).

    Yes, your right about the list. I researched it deeper and can see what happened. Theres a main blog which i guess everyone copies data from. My site was posted in the first spot out of about 20-30 sites, i visited other referers and your right all of them copied that exact list..

    But the only thing is even when i wasn't on this list my traffic was more than i have now and it was slowly growing, but now its lower than ever and it seems like it will continue.

    I tried contacting the person with the blog but didnt get a reply yet, would be nice to buy a spot there for a year for him to post my spot in first place. Hmm.
