Spam fog is a good description. Where I used to see several decent sites clumped together, and some spammy stuff here and there as you get further from page 1, I now see clumps of spammy sites with decent sites scattered all over the place and buried.

Some terms/phrases show results that aren't quite as bad, others are spastic looking.

I'm also seeing lots of domains appearing in the serps without www. in front, more than I think I used to. This obviously does not apply the sites with 3rd level domains like site.domain.com, but there's more of those too I think.

It seemed the 3rd level domain stuff was toned down for awhile, and now it's back?
