I'm a member of the Independent Search Engine & Directory Network which has about 45 member sites.

Do you share a lot of common properties such as listings, interlinking, and backlinks? Especially of those that were hit.

We don't really share anything, each of us barely knows that the others exist. Since only a fourth of the sites were affected, I'm sure the association has nothing to do with it.
