One thing it seems a lot of people need to do is forget their freaking sites. Look at what is down there at 950. One thing is plain:

These are not pages that scored in at 950. There are some niche authority sites, and then there is a pile of rotting garbage that, well, that scores in the top ten on Yahoo or MSN. Google places a lot of stuff down there by design that desrves to be penalized. The problem is the OBVIOUS mistakes. While some people complaining here have spammy, low content sites, many have genuine niche authority sites. More importantly, when I see a page of mine down there, I also see some of my top competitors who I also know are not spammers (to any large degree anyway for sure). What my competitors pages all have though is: they would score highly for SOME search term(s). In other words.... I don't see any pages placed down at 950 that normally would rank say #72.
