Life is grand

Two screenshots showing the power of search engines when it comes to driving traffic to your site.

Awhile back my Wordpress 2.0.2 powered blog was hacked and filled with spam links. Google, Yahoo! etc. all quickly dumped my blog from their results. Wherebefore I was getting 2,000 hits a month I was now getting 100. Small numbers but the difference is apparent. I was hacked on the 26th/28th of March and you can see in the top graph the resulting drop.

The other day I upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 and lo and behold the search engines noticed and started showing me in their results again. Traffic is up (though still small.)
