Yeah, we think about it a couple of times an update, every update when someone loses out and they start complaining.

The thing is that it is a zero-sum game. Whenever a site goes down in the rankings another goes up. And the possibility always exists that those sites might actually be better sites that have been in the doldrums for months. The economy is not hurt by this because for every site that goes down, another goes up. If the buyer wants to buy something, they will. The money will be spent. The local economy of your pocket is where it can hurt.

When you are at the top, you want stability. If you are working your way up, you want a little more flux.
