I can only speak from our experience. You can call it anything you want but the ability of new pages, and new sites, to move upward in the Serps, or be even remotely competitive, has definitely taken a turn for the worse. It started early this year and you could get out of the box in around 4 to 6 weeks. Now it’s up to 90 days and counting. It is stuck, and no amount of links, on page optimization, or deep prayer does anything for us. It is very difficult to improve something that just won’t budge, no matter what you do to it.

Some say its links, others a filter, and many profess its all in how you introduce it. Personally I have no idea what it is, but what started out as a curiosity, graduated to a minor nuisance and is now a real pain in the butt.

If someone knows how to solve this please share. I think a lot more people than admit it, are dying to know.
