Not too many new LBS's these days. I believe google searches were bringing more people here in the past. I think other sites have moved up in the rankings and this site has moved down.
^I'm willing to bet this is the primary driver. It's certainly possible some folks are turned off by particular advice or the overall tone, but my guess is most people don't know where to turn at bomb day and are just looking for anything to help so they start googling for answers and find other sites who have invested more recently in Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
I've been out of the search engine optimization game for a while now. I got lucky and found the site via doing a search on "anti-depressants divorce". The thread I linked in my initial post was one of the top hits. Just tried that search again and this forum isn't even on the first page (I didn't look further). I do remember from my website marketing days that if you aren't in the first few hits, especially the first page of hits, then you will get very little traffic from the search indexing sites.
So BL, you are dead on. Especially in the days now where web search engines are willing to take payment for better results. They are supposed to tag those as "advertisements" but they do a great job of making them look like the first 2-3 search results. Not sure if there is a grass-roots effort we can make to help the sites search engine placement.
