My stats are so one sided to Google its not real, around 70%. With the recent changes happening like the new BBC search (Google) and AOL using Google as well as Freeserve searches, how can any UK targeted web site go wrong?

I now what you mean, its frightening, we did change servers 4 months ago and lost everything but all 200 pages are fully indexed now. We do run ad-words but nothing beats top ratings on the search.

Our largest customer is now relying on Google for 75% of his traffic.

I have deliberately kept the site 'clean' and free of trickery that might trigger a spam filter - but every Google update fills me with dread.

They rank well on all the other engines - so not much I can do there except build another site (WIP) and hope that Yahoo switches to Fast.
