I do not believe everyone that is posting here complainig about recent mess on G is a webmaster that got hit by Austin. In gact I lost and I gained trafic in last few weeks. I lost quolity trafic and I win irrelevant one.
One of my sites - <snip> disaapeared form the SERP's when searching for Keyword. It was N1 when searching only sites on my native language. The Keyword is present ot the title tags, decription and of course (as this is the tittle of the site) on every backward link I have (site's PR is 6).
There is no overoptimisation as I cant use the Keyword more rarely - in fact the site is the biggest resource for info and services about Keyword in my language. Thatts why It has lots of backward links (and this PR).
On the other hand I have a portal site that G now thinks is authritrative. It has a directory and an RSS news portal (lots of RSS feeds shown there). Now dir.myste.com and feed.musite.com shows in the top 10 positions for almost every search im my language and in lots of english searches.
The title tyg of everery page here is he same and there is no any keyord in it. There are no descrition or keyword tags in the HTML head area. The links to the sie are no muche eather - mostly internal links.

A we all here try to do some reverse ingeneering here I would like to point to something different. More of you are searching for an english words. And at the end most of the people believe that here are some "industries" and "keyword"zones that are affected.
Well,when I do a search for words in my language I can see the chaos all over.
And my final poin for now - I think it will be correct for everyone that posts here in this fourm to psecify which Google site is using - de, uk, us or some else, as the algo's used for those sites are different.
