Answers.com Traffic Down 28%

Ouch that’s got to hurt!

Quote taken stright form the wiredblog:

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.

The wired blog post includes graphs of the drop in alexa and technorita..

Could its be the selling of text links ? hmmm …

Maybe the use of yahoo answers or just taking copy from wiki hmm who knows…

    If answers is down 28% who is UP?

    “That news should send a shiver down the spine of anyone who depends on the search engine for traffic and revenue.”

    Not really, if GOOGLE’s traffic went down 28% we should worry. If Google’s traffic is the same and answers traffic from Google is down 28% that same traffic is going someplace else.

    Answers should worry, but someone else(s) are probably celebrating.

    I agree… A few but’s 😉

    The lose in answers rankings would only move up others by 1 its not that answers.com has been replaced…

    Most of us I think depend on google if in a seo if not then other types of media come in to play but imho that’s a different topic 🙂
