Google does not scrape your content. One sentence is not considered content

Google scrapes content, period. If your site has 1 page and 1000 Keywords on the page, there will be a 1000 pages on Google.com where the snippet of your content will reside. Now, extrapolate that.

if G disappears, I will get all 100% from Yahoo and MSN, as people will search on those two

What if your site disappears from Google? bye-bye 95% of the traffic? :) I am sorry to tell you this, but what you are running is not a business then.

What also interests me, is how SEO used to be BAD all around (that original 2001 thread is enlightening, and there's a quote from Google guidelines there that says something in extend of "webmasters who will use Google traffic with intent of making money will be banned"). Now we have "white hat SEO" and "black hat SEO". White hats are webmaster who help Google scrape content better (i.e. give free content to Google). Black hats are those who don't want to give Google "good free content", but rather want to get free traffic from Google. IMHO has nothing to do with CUSTOMERS - actual visitors.
