Has Your Traffic Dropped Since March 2004?

Subjects > Computers > Web > Search Engine News

In a message thread about encountering the worst traffic and sales week so far this year, someone else complained that this year has been a real disaster traffic wise especially since the Yahoo / Google split in February or March of 2004. He feels like most people's stories are similar. I wrote this to him:

Vicente,

There is a reason you are hearing so many other tales of misery and woe. Those who haven't experienced the crash you have seen are keeping very quiet for fear of catching "traffic rot" on their websites.....

More and more, Amazon is outranking our sites that are copies of their info from AWS. Amazon is somehow reaping the benefit of the pagerank we are sending them with all of our affiliate links, and google is automatically placing them at the top of more and more results. Even if your site isn't a copy of Amazon's info, how can it compete with the 900,000 possible people that Amazon has with an inventive to link to them.

Every new domain with a copy of the rat script builds up Amazon a little higher.... At least $20,000,000 in annual fees are spent by little people, hoping for the piece of the amazon pie, buying domain names and putting free scripts on free hosting, domains that mostly point at Amazon.

Has anyone else noticed how the Amazon session IDs cloak the google PR of www.amazon.com so that the google toolbar shows no PR at all for them? Does anyone know how to get around this to figure out the real PR of amazon.com and some of their subpages?

How can you compete for links like what Amazon gets, especially when, according to my recent research:

Oh script kiddies, the bell is tolling, and it tolls for thee.....

- G.

is there any solution? do i have time to read dozens of forums and thousands of message threads to figure out what to do? Can someone digest it all for me so I can quickly get up to date on what is happening with search engines and web traffic ?
