Massive google traffic drop

I would argue that if only 20% of your traffic comes from Google then you're not getting nearly as much overall traffic as you should be. With that said, I would be more than happy to hear any suggestions for optimizing specifically for AV, Lycos, Ink, MSN, etc.

The 20%-25% from google is more than you might think. I too have top 10 results for dozens of words and combos on google. My thinking is "why be satisfied with one SE?" That simple for me, as I've said it's habit making separate gateways. I did that before there was a google.

I'm not going to quote exact numbers because I'm quite satisfied with my results. I'll let most of the rest of you keep on keeping on.
