That is to say, should one be checking to see if the sites are out of the sandbox regularly or only when they know there is a major Google update? :)
Thanks

The searchers in question are doing sophisticated searches, for technical questions. Maybe I shouldn't have worded it the way I did, it's the search terms that are sophisticated, not the searchers, I don't know anything about them. What I'm seeing now is something I've never seen before, growing numbers of technically oriented users not using google. This is the first time I've been getting any significant traffic from non google sources, that's why I think it's a significant point.
What you see on your site is about the same pattern I see on a standard commercial site I do, that's the inertia I was referring to, the standard user takes a lot longer to switch than your average geek, sort of the rats leaving a sinking ship idea, only google isn't really sinking, it's just making some pretty serious mistakes. Plenty of time to fix it, at least 6 months, but after that, I don't know, I'd sell my google shares sooner than later, well, I'd sell them now, they are at least 10 times over priced, that won't last forever.
