Atticus,

When did Google start ranking individual pages based almost entirely by the site they appear on, regardless of the age/IBLs/content of the individual page? I don't really care for the "everything on site A is great/everything on site B is supplimental" SERPs coming out of Googleland these days.

I HEAR ya! I've recently had a major player move into my sector and it is killing me. Things didn't used to be like this. I definitely see G returning results almost entirely based on the site they are on, and not the individual merit of pages. Like someone mentioned before, I am going to have to close down a lot of small sites and try to become an authority in an increasingly difficult market. If G continues this path, the mega-giant networks like CNET will take over the internet.
