I would have to respond that I first discount the vast majority of webmaster's ability to understand numbers. Most of them will look at the percentages of search referals on their own sites as proof that google is going down hill. When what they should be doing is watching the actual numbers of non-google search engine referrals instead of the percentages.

I agree BigDave and there are many factors which affect those log numbers, a recent significant change in Ink has also benfitted our sites, BUT I would say that following the Florida and Austin updates we need to be looking carefully at logs, to spot any trends.
