I think that trust means more then just back links or age. I do believe that when a new 'untrusted' site does many on site changes whether it is good for the visitor or not, google seems to flag it further and in some cases your already throttled traffic dips even lower. I have seen evidence of this in my own site, but it is an extremely hard thing to prove. My very limited advice would be too keep changes at a minimum especialy Meta tags and titles.

Just a thought, would it be possible for google to somehow 'cloak' search results in order to keep your traffic at it's daily limit? Ya I know it's crazy but how else would they do it?
