Again, I don't pretend to know any of the specific details, but if what I wrote above is close to how it would work, then why would you lose traffic or sales?
That is one of the sugestions the other one is to have it turned on by default which you can turn off but will then automaticcally reset to on again by a certain time. They are also trying to get search engines to block certian types of search terms and these other measures as well

Other measures announced by the prime minister included:

New laws so videos streamed online in the UK will be subject to the same restrictions as those sold in shops
Search engines having until October to introduce further measures to block illegal content
Experts from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre being given more powers to examine secretive file-sharing networks
A secure database of banned child pornography images gathered by police across the country will be used to trace illegal content and the paedophiles viewing it

Mr Cameron also called for warning pages to pop up with helpline numbers when people try to search for illegal content.
