For us it is emerging that competition for the big composers Bach, Beethoven and Mozart is beyond our niche. Individual pieces or catalog alpha numerics find us but not say "bach mp3" or "mozart mp3". We do get the odd full name search for them including say "Ludvig van" or "Wolfgang Amadeus" but they are quite infrequent for obvious reasons.
We always knew that they were very competitive but some of our instrument approaches such as "steel band mp3" or "marimba MP3" seem to deliver very little traffic even though there are not so many competitor targeting that phrase.
I'm not sure it is polite or politic to mention this in public but we have experienced a dramatic fall in spam co-incident with Hurricane Katrina's landfall in New Orleans. I suppose we can only be sure of cause and effect if it returns when the city come back to life which thankfully seems much more likely now.
