LMAO...i live in clearwater, fl the capital of scientology. If google shut down i would probably do the same as you and hope a UFO flies by and saves us all.
I'll be looking for where the google traffic is gone and will work on that. It will be certainly MSN and yahoo, but many other search engines too. It will be a big mess, all my rankings are high in google, nowhere else...
I don't depend on Adsense for a living, so it won't be the end of the world. I will probably optimize for Chitika using their contextual ads.
I hardly believe that they'll ever manage to build an efficient search engine. Of course they will steal some slight percent of surfers after the release of Windows Vista, but that won't wipe out all dirt from their search results, nether make them more complete.
Google will never going to shut down. This is only fake news but if Google going to shut Down. It will be shocked news for Webmasters or SEO's. They are totally depend on Google search engine.
It would be unheard of, and since they have shareholders to answer to and have 60% of internet searches it would be inconceivable to say the least
