May 2010 Linkscape Update (and Whiteboard Explanations of How We Do It)
As some of you likely noticed, Linkscape's index updated today with fresh data crawled over the past 30 days.

Managing SEO Campaigns in Declining Industries
A site's organic traffic may drop because it is performing poorly compared to it's industry competitors, or the whole industry may be suffering from a slow down of consumer demand in that niche. In this post I recommend some metrics that can be tracked to benchmark your site against competitors (independent of market behaviour) and to check the health of the industry. I'll then make suggestions for finding opportunities to slow or reverse the trend of dropping traffic. For the benefit of the time-poor, the post ends with a three point checklist / summary.
