Big increase in .ca traffic - anyone else? - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

The last two weeks I had noticed a significant jump in hits and click revenue for my .ca's. I thought this was just an anomaly as I have seen spikes before lasting only a day or two, however, it has gone on for two weeks straight and is effecting 10 names at Fabulous and Sedo. The traffic increase is mostly Canadian and seems to be originating from Yahoo searches. Most of these names would get 1 - 5 hits daily with about $2-3 monthly revenue in the past, now, they are receiving up to 1500 hits daily with $2-3 daily revenue. Has anyone else had the same experience? Any explanations?

I had also noticed a jump in hits and click revenue for my .ca's. Not as big as you, but some of my domain names receive 4-5 times more clicks. In my case, mainly from Google...

In your case, I only see a big jump in your Yahoo ranking. Have you done someting special with your domain names in the last months? Optimisation etc.?
