One thing people should realize before ditching or switching strategies. EMD's carry value beyond Google.

I agree. Our highest revenue site that was hit is still doing decently from number 1 positions on Bing, Ask, and basically every other search engine. While we certainly miss the traffic from G-, I am not about to start making major changes to appease Google that could hurt rankings on other SEs.
