JD,

"My guess is that the problem is that she doesn't have a site. What appears to be one site at first glance is actually a complicated network of interlinked sites all on exactly the same topic, several with identical whois info, a few with very similar format and content, and all with adsense on them."

But even with all that, Yahoo ranks her at #1 for her best three-word KW combo. Since we do know that helleborine provides stained glass pattern content we see that Yahoo finds and ranks that content better than Google does.

You can call her site a site, or a network or whatever, but Yahoo finds the content -- and that's the whole point of the exercise as far as I can tell.

Of course, I'll readily agree that "fixing" the items you mention would probably only help her with Google in the long run. The question is whether it will hurt her in Yahoo, which is already ranking her #1.
