We may be seeing the storm before the calm

I agree, Gbot's also begun to do some pretty effective filtering for either removing "Junk Links" or penalizing sites that use them.

One of my associates made the mistake of submitting his site to a few FFAs and a few foreign link directories.. it has sunk to incredibly low rankings, pretty quickly since all this began.

I'm also told that Gbot is using some backlink quality filtering; my sites that have backlinks on reputable pages with relevant anchor text and decent PR have risen in rankings considerably, as well.
