Google traffic was at best 1%, yahoo traffic has not only replaced it, but is triple per day what google sent on it's best day. I have never, and never will depend on SE traffic for any of my sites. What is good today is gone tomorrow.
I am not saying that I don't care, but I am not going to loose any sleep over every bump in my life. Traffic sales are at a all time high, every affiliate is getting paid on time as always. Life is good. Google banned my ips because I make hundreds of sites that contain the same terms. They see this as spam. There's no big conspiracy going on here. I am not going to model my business after anyones rules. Never.

Right on, this is old news. I've watched choker sites I've traded with go up and down and drop to PR Hell. I THINK google does penalise you if you link to the sites. So decide if it's worth the hit on your PR for the traffic you get from choker. As stated in the quote, the man does not run his biz model on what google does.
Hard to knock anything that is producing so much traffic. I can't afford to ignore google, but they sure fuck with ya some times on keyword placement. Don't really see the sense in having so many sites that all look the same, but then again hard to argue with the $$$ choker is making. The traffic he sends produces and he doesn't have to worry about shaving and sponsors cheating...
