Web site traffic is perking up after a sleepy period, with OnlyLeggings and Fashion Jewelry leading the way.
I track rank, reach and pageviews daily on Alexa, although lately Alexa hasn't been updating consistently.
OnlyLeggings just had 2 big days in a row. By the units I use (e.g. millionth of a % of worldwide traffic), OL had never had 2 CONSECUTIVE days of 200 or more for both reach and pageviews. It just did that on Wednesday and Thursday (double its recent volume). The closest it had come before was Dec 23 & 24, 2013. It has had much bigger single days, but they were spikes with slow days around them. I'm hoping this is a sign it will sustain.
Other sites also woke up on Thursday.
TopsHabitat had its best day since Jan 29th, essentially tying its previous 2 best days.
BasicsHabitat had its best day since Feb 17th, but is still low in volume.
DressesHabitat had its best reach day ever with a "90", and its 4th best rank day, breaking into the top 200k of sites worldwide for only the 4th time.
VivaVuva was not strong on Thursday, but the 3 days before that were its best 3-day run since mid-January.
But the real nice surprise of late has been Fashion Jewelry. Here's its recent one-day totals for days when I was able to get Alexa data (NOTE that dates listed are download dates, GMT, which is 3 days later than the actual date the traffic reports on).
Note also that for the first number LOWER is better, and it represents worldwide rank to the nearest thousand (multiply it by 1000). For Reach and Pageview, higher is better.

Fashion Jewelry's fast progress from almost nothing in Feb to WOL-level of traffic in March is amazing. That 180 reach is double its previous best, and even higher that OL's recent average. Its traffic has been even with WOL in recent weeks. At 81k for world rank, that was the first time its 1-day rank broke the top 100k sites.
OL's single-day traffic trends for March:

Again, subtract 3 days from the date to get the real date the traffic is for.
