What about your SERPs? My links went down in google but my traffic is off the hook... so are sales! I do think the Co-Op is partly responsible for my current success. I say current because Google giveth, and Google takethaway... with out notice.
my google links doubled from yesterday, although they were cut by 1/3 shortly after I joined the co-op (and I know it was not because of the co-op). Now to just get that page rank up a bit higher.
