The after effect of Googles farmer update:-

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Google's recent change to its search algorithm has dramatically shaken up the businesses of websites that moved up or down its search rankings. Sites whose rankings rose to the top found that their traffic and revenue soared -- but the adjustment had an equally devastating effect on those that were dropped.

The Online Publishers Association, a group of content producers comprising many of the Internet's largest properties (including CNN.com), estimates that the algorithm change shifted $1 billion in annual revenue.

Not surprising. There is a tonne of money in search engine results. A lot of people/companies are losing a lot of money after this latest update.

Interesting point, hopefully all the people who's traffic and business soared can cope with the demand and don't wilt under the weight - that would be a real devastating impact
