Here is what has me puzzled...

I have a blog that I update at least 5 times a week, handwritten content and plenty of backlinks. It's down more than 20% in traffic.

Then I have a page... ONE page. One fucking simple HTML page with almost no content and that has had NO updates and no active linkbuilding for well over 2 years.. it's up more than 37%. Not that it gets a lot of traffic (around 5K from SE a month), but still... WHY? WHHHHYYYY!!
