It's interesting to me that whatever change occured over the last two weeks a pronounced spike in yahoo/bing traffic is the result. At the same time I'm seeing more and more searches from Ixquick.com which ironically looks like google premayday in terms of results.
It will be interesting to see if the rest of your/our niches see a similar bump ad the changes roll through. For the first time I AM seeing a significant shift away from google in the last ten days. With mayday there was a shift that didn't last. Will this one stick and are the new results pushing users away?
My thought is yes, we will see a shift this time.
I think if we get away from all the click/instant goofy counting we are going to see a proportional shift away from google if nothing changes and they continue to jam changes that reduce user choice.
Do some searches on ix, at least for products it's cleaner than google, no duplication, no spam.
