Wow. I guess I am among the luckier ones. I didn't lose much traffic, but I
find the number rather unnerving. They keep sliding and referrals likewise.
Oddly, I had a huge boost for a couple of weeks last month.
One of the minor losses (to me) is the inability to carry out site search, on
which I depend. I put a lot of my papers and meterial on-line. This
frequently, if not immediately, enables me to 'offshore' indexing to Google
(rather than Beagle, Spotlight or Google Desktop locally) and then navigate
through my work. At the moment, some pages are simply missing. I must
confess that Google's 'sort by relevance' was spectacular, so I could arrive
at my desired location instantly, without fumbling.

I have never truly considered sitemaps because the sites are fairly
fragmented, CMS-wise. I am relieved to discover that even XML could not save
the day, so to speak. Many of us feel your pain...
Best wishes,
