I can tell that there have been changes, but I have yet to determine exactly what. On a single keyword I went up 10 positions. On a two word combo I went from #8 to #3. No significnat changes in the number of backlinks, and this is the first update since a DMOZ editor moved my listing from a PR5 cat to a PR1 cat. I would have expected to drop in the listings, rather than rise.

Another of my sites with only a PR of 3 managed to get two #2 positions (not highly competitive terms, but one of the #2's is out of 145,000 and is 4 positions above a PR8 site!)

So, it looks like on page factors are having more impact than in recent updates.
