Got seriously devalued after redesign. What to do?

if a site is making money, don't redesign it.

If you redesign a website, you have maybe a 5% chance of upping its revenue, 5% chance of staying the same, and a 90% chance of losing almost everything.

Even if you do it exactly the way you're supposed to.

Nothing like pulling numbers out of your ass and pretending you know what you're talking about...

Oh really?

I've been planning a redesign for months and am worried as well, as I have numerous top 10 rankings, some for very competitive keywords, and I'm worried about losing.

Sounds to me like one of us has experience at it and the other doesn't. Can't even tell you how many thousands of dollars I've lost on site redesigns that were supposed to be beneficial. Tell you what, go wild and redesign your site and tell us all about how it went a month from now. :D

So because it messed up for you, you assume it only works for 5% of people? okay.

This is 100% correct. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Little bit of hijacking, but OP mentioned "About Us" box at every page. Is that, or any similar info on every page, a problem?

Nope not a problem at all. Most blogs have an "about us" page, it doesn't confuse Google at all -- in fact having a unique one is one of the hallmarks of a quality website. Same with privacy policy.
