Good Timing for MSN and Yahoo to Kick In

... just as Google blew up in my face

What a break. I've lost 40% of my G traffic since Allegra, and my AS earnings would be in the dumper right now if my MSN and Y traffic weren't soaring.

The new MSN Search release treated me very favorably and Y rankings are up in the last few weeks as well. The increase has almost entirely offset the G loss. Sometimes you get really lucky. :)

that's lucky :) - as an aside - have you found a higher ctr since the traffic has upped from MSN and Yahoo.

In the middle of January I had a huge boost in Y and MSN for just 4-5 days - traffic soared and so did my CTR although I couldn't gauge for sure if that was the reason...

CTR has never varied by more than 1%. It will take more data over a longer time to quantify a variance.
