the numbers went down on their own

The past couple of days have seen a major drop in bot traffic: I've been showing only 2000-4000 daily site visits, which is still unreasonably high. I remember the old, pre-2010 days, before bots were ever a problem for us invisible bloggers, when I was happy to average 350 visits per day. These days, when the traffic spikes to crazy levels, I worry about getting botted to death. But not at the moment. Right now, things feel calmer.
