Answers.com experiencing low traffic

answers.jpgAnswers.com, an award-winning information portal, has seen a 28% drop in search engine traffic starting last week due to a search engine algorithmic adjustment by Google.

“The major search engines modify their algorithms all the time,” said Bob Rosenschein, CEO. “This change only demonstrates the sound business rationale behind our agreement to purchase Dictionary.com, because it underscores a primary motivation for the deal: to secure a steady source of direct traffic and mitigate our current dependence on search engine algorithms.”
