Dumping some domains due to new GKW results

After the new keyword too changes, I found out that a few of my sites no longer fit my criteria for niche marketing. Has this affected you? Probably a good thing as I don't want to be spreading my self too thin.

    well yea of course this happened to others. my first website (well I olny own 2 so far ) went from 9k exact searches to 600 and the CPC went from .80$ to .25$ so ... this website won't get me much money

    Yea, I was going to do that too...except I forgot that I had automatic re-billing set up at name.com, and on Monday I got an email saying I just spent $600 on renewed domains

      Michael,

      Same thing here. I bought 76 domains for a project

      at about the same time all the google change was going on.

      All new to me at the time. Domains that the GAT said

      4400 searches per month went to 110 per month. 1300

      searches per month went to >10 per month. Man, I was sick.

      Ditching 32 domains out of 76. These were the ones I bought

      as the change was going on. After the change I made sure about

      stats, front page google etc. before buying. These 44 seem to be ok

      at the moment.

      Do you see the glass half empty or half
      full? The difference can mean success or
      failure.
      The simple things seem to be the most
      effective and most overlooked.

    least exact local search i go is 590, but it would have to be for a good reason like 0 competition with min. seo action or something.
