Joe Surfer may not immediately notice a decrease in the quality of the SERPs unless this is brought to his attention by the media or third parties.

or...

The sector that Joe Surfer is exploring may have excellent results - as suggested by Flicker, educational searches are producing high quality SERPs.

My particular niche shows SERPs that are far superior to those that were returned pre-Bourbon.

Perhaps for those that are planning on meeting the Google engineers in N.O., a suggestion about niche-specific algorithms may be prudent.

PS. I have reprinted two articles in their entirety on my site with permission from their original authors, crediting them appropriately. The original articles are hosted on major news sites, mine is but an 8 month site... and Bourbon *seems* to have pulled me out of the sandbox.
