Noticing changes at my end.

Looks like they have let loose a tad bit better regional filtering part to there algo with what I am seeing and I would say they are aligning a new batch of sites that have in effect paid there dues, so there giving them the accurate score and associated power in this set of results that look to be coming through at the moment.

Something interesting that I have noticed with a site of mine that is being affected by the +950 penalty, is that the majority of the pages on my web site that I have optimized.. without including a city location after the keywords targeted for aparticular page, they all seem to do fine and rank accordingly.

The pages that are getting filtered are all the ones where I have targeted local based keywords eg: keyword phrase city name. I'm pretty sure someone else mentioned something like this before so it's probably not knew.. so here's hoping it's only Google playing around with there regional filtering part of there algo... and crossing fingers that theres still more to come.
