Google's new algo leading site traffic down

[temi]

Answers.com CEO Bob Rosenschein revealed this week that his site lost 28% of its traffic in a week, thanks to a change in Google's indexing algorithms. That news should send a shiver down the spine of anyone who depends on the search engine for traffic and revenue.
And, as it turns out, Answers.com isn't the only site suffering from a traffic drop: Technorati's reach of internet users, as measured by Alexa, is also down by 25% in the last two weeks. There's good reason to cast a skeptical eye on Alexa's skewed and often downright inaccurate measurements, but Compete's analysis also shows significant drops in the traffic to both sites: Visitors to Answers.com were down by 10% in June, and at Technorati, visitors were down by almost 14% in June, according to Compete. Ouch.

Reading through some of the comments it would appear that some of the `ordinary` folk are also losing their places.

Still, I suppose that if some are going down, others must be going up to replace them.

Absolutely, some other sites are being ranked better than they were before
