All sites have gone down in traffic?

Hi,

I'm new here and this is my introduction post.

I used to work as the head of SEO dept for an online casino up to a year ago, and we used to rank no.2 for just the term 'roulette'. The only site ranked before us was wikipedia with its description of roulette. I checked SERPs recently and can honestly say that Google are employing personalized search results to such an extreme that there is no one site which gets to be in top 10 all the time. They give you results which they think fit your online profile.

Have you noticed in the last year or so, all sites including major ones are getting less organic traffic. What I'm wondering is, where is that traffic going?

They can't all of them be losing traffic at the same time, while none are improving. I recently read that there's a class action lawsuit against Google for employing tactics to steal traffic for itself, its products, and/or sending traffic to its Adwords advertisers in order to artificially inflate its profits.

Now here's my 2 cents, the only way which seems to still work to get a site with lots of natural traffic is to fill your site with lots of content pages on a particular niche. You'll only get a few hits per page, but when you consider having 10,000 pages, you'll still get a sizable amount of free organic targeted traffic. Gone are the days where you are ranked high in SERPs for a particular good keyword and you get most of your traffic from that keyword.

Anyone interested in a JV, I'm doing a product launch soon about internet marketing. I will probably also offer free review products to a limited number of interested people.
