backdraft, perhaps that's a plan. Make it so overoptimized crud floats to the top and make it easy for the algo to see that people hate that content... then ban it using the algo alone.
I'd prefer it sink to the bottom but the top is just as good for making it stick out, dontcha think? :-)

The folks who are seeing dramatic changes in SERPs -- are those on the US Google, the UK Google, or both?
Are you confident these changes are more dramatic than the usual "everflux"?

Econman - .com is not as shaken as .uk - but it is shaken.
7 or 8 site movement on page 1 on .co.uk - half that on .com
You could say that the .com is everflux + some.
The .co.uk is a total shakeup of most sites - beyond page 1 aswell. So I can say 100% confidence 4u that it is not everflux.
Stable uk page 1 for 2 years or so - now totally shaken up.

I'd say it's WAY beyond everflux in the US. Symptom is typical of a major algo change in the oven. I'll guess that in 24 to 72 hours traffic is back. The usual flux never knocks us out this bad. When they stop playing with their SERP "busy box" I notice new blog entries being picked up within minutes and site changes updated quickly. What I'm seeing in the US results, at least in my niche is simply "redunculous"!

We are seeing some changes to the elements within html of Google pages. No idea if this means anything but could be prelude to bigger shake up.

Something to do with the <a> tag and <h3> tag that couldn't be identified. Don't think its a big deal on reflection.

It had occurred to me that we had no idea if Moultano was really a G employee or not, so no idea if this slight hint was real or not.
But the Matt Cutts quote on page of the NYT article about JC Penney this morning would seem to indicate it is.

Interesting times, eh guys?

See two distinct versions of US SERPs at the moment, regardless of the ip node I pull results in from. Might be an interesting month.
