Highly-technical sites, is your non-Google traffic shrinking?

For me, traffic from Google almost 75% of SE-based traffic & growing

First, let me define what I mean by a technical site. By this I mean that only people who develop software would have any need to visit the site.

Now, the dominance of Google seems to pop up from time to time as it did in this recent thread:

The general consensus being "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket".

Very good advice, however I'm not sure in my industry there is any other basket, though. Google is so good at finding very specific, very technical data that today, I can't say I even know a developer that uses anything else for Internet searching.

As a result, the percentage of Google-based search engine traffic has continued to grow. Is anyone else with a technical site experiencing this? Does anyone else agree that the % of software developers that use Google seems to be higher than the norm? Most importantly, have you found a solution?

I agree completely with you. My customers are all in the computer industry, and all they ever use to search is Google.

There's only one basket for me as well.

My major web site might also be considered "technical" but in an extremely different field. It contains lots of proper names (people and places) and Google does seem to excel at searches for that kind of stuff.

My site is totally non technical and if you combine Yahoo and Google they bring 75% of my SE traffic. So it's not just techie people who like Google.
