Is Friday exciting when it's day 5 in a 7 day week?

Mastermynde dropped to 193 on Google for Vancouver Web Design last week, but has since partially recovered and is back up to 89. I just did some research around local geo-specific business directories and will be adding Mastermynde as appropriate. Other than that, haven't done any on-page optimization yet.

Regardless of google rankings, traffic from search engines has gone up and my daily visitor count has gone up to an average of ~37/day. It's nice to have some solid first-hand evidence that a good linking strategy will drive traffic, regardless of its impact on search engine rankings.
