    An interesting marketing campaign for MSN was presented in another forum that if executed could cause some major shifts in SE Market share while Google battles the “bugs” in their algorithm.

    Great concept! Read more.

    - Google 948
    - MSN 245
    - Yahoo 137

    That from my stats yesterday so still looks like google is being used most by my site visitors. I use MSN the most myself.

    Great analogy.

    Another old saying that defiantly comes to mind is “always dance with the one that brought you”.

    Webmasters sang “G” praises, spread the word and launched them to the top in a market worth billions, now only to be spurned and ridiculed by “G”.

    Hopefully Google will recover from their temporary insanity and regain their greatness before it is too late.

    BTW – “How soon they forget” and "the bigger they are the harder they fall" also comes to mind.

    Well if this poll is any thing close to an accurate sampling, it is safe to say the Google is losing market share over their recent algorithm changes.
