On a much smaller level the same thing happened to me/my website in 2007 the 3rd time my web host changed ownership and overnight without notice my website address was changed dropping from 130,000 hits / month to nearly being invisible. I KNEW at the time it was because I was signed up on their cheapest option of U$70+ / year and the my site's traffic was growing so they dumped me in the cyber trash bin and wanted me to pay them for their web techie marketing consultants or upgrade . Anyway we own 2 prime locations so our internet presence is only the icing on the cake so to speak so our business / income does NOT depend on it so I KNEW that with time, link exchanges and later learned I could buy domain names which would automatically transfer and continue providing content to other Philippines related groups forums and websites that my traffic would return for NO EXTRA MONEY. In 3+ years now it's back to about half the traffic of 2006-7.
I can see now how you are in the process of reducing your dependence on the Big G machine by seeking advertising revenue directly so the MORE POWER TO YOU, your team and all of your efforts. My wife and I have never trusted the benefits of advertising costs lacking proof of higher "sales" and increased rental income or occupancy rates but in recent months our record breaking levels may encourage us to experiment with advertising on your website. Food for thought!
