    Did you do anything to your site to get those Google hits back or has it just happened?

    I did a couple of improvements to my site using the web CEO program that I put up in a previous thread. I am now getting more hits from MSN and yahoo but still hardly anything from google.

    Same thing that happened to Excite, Alta Vista etc. Google beat the living hell out of them.

    I used to use HotBot too! They've definitely updated the look, though. It looks way closer to Google than it did in 2000. I guess everybody copies Google now.
