Search Engine Traffic: ApartmentRatings.com | 12/2008 - 9/2012
Notice the huge spike in traffic around December 2010. Did demand increase that much in one month? Did Google change its algorithm? Hard to account for it.
Search Engine Traffic (Organic): ApartmentRatings.com Vs. ApartmentGuide.com | 12/2008 - 9/2012
I found it more curious that ApartmentGuide.com (Primedia) mirrored the spike almost exactly.
Search Engine Traffic (Adwords): ApartmentRatings.com Vs. ApartmentGuide.com | 12/2008 - 9/2012
