Hi, I have a website that is approaching three months old. Traffic has been fairly scant and the previous maximum viewing I had was about six weeks ago which was 14. I guess they were spiders cos i am in the sandbox. Some of my keywords showed up on google about two weeks into launching the site only to drop out of the top 500 completely. A lot of my keywords are competitive so I am willing to be patient. However today after making some minor changes to the site removing a lot of irrelevant text description based on advice from some web experts. (about two weeks ago). Then today i observed a surge in traffic the maximum number came up to 57. I guess over 90% of them were spiders. the number then flunctuated between 28 and 52 for about one hour. My question is this is this a good sign that my pages are gradually been indexed. Unfortunately I am unable to tell from which search engine they came from. Has anyone here experienced something similar and what should I expect in future?
I've got vbseo and sitemap generator but cant figure out how to check it yet. I've just sent them a mail to tell me how to go about it.
