It would be funny if they had an algo to sense for site owners interested in certain terms and then delivered bogus results to wind them up.

Come to think of it I think I've been got by this one ;

I seem to have read somewhere - I hope someone can find it - that an algo enhancement a few quarters back was able to determine what KW(s) every site was trying to optimize for by looking at tweaks made. If the tweaks were either numerous or constant a "hold' type penalty would be applied...

I also remember in the same article reading that it could take anywhere from 6-9 months to work itself off...

As an aside.... I always thought that to have several "Rotating Algos" would be a great way to control spam since it would like trying to hit a moving target.
