Sid, you make a good point and one that I am debating myself. How can we make changes, or even attempt changes without risking our ranking in other search engines? I have come to the conclusion that it may be wiser to leave things the way they are

Since this algo is probably still cooking and therefore a moving target, making changes solely for the benefit of a better ranking at this point is foolish at best.

Is it not possible that one purpose of this algo change is to make it tough for a page to be all things to all search engines? If you are Google and you know you will lose Y!, would it not be to your benefit to make webmasters choose which SE master they will serve?

I would bet that at SES there were more people wanting to talk to Google than INK.
