So I am trying to figure out what is different about caffeine as far as how its changed what sites G has a preference for. First off does anyone have any good signals that you use to determine if a set of results is caffeine or not?

For people that think they can detect what is caffeine or what is not caffeine what percent of the time are you seeing caffeine now 20% of the time or 80% of the time.

Or do people think we are just seeing different variants of caffeine at this point.

I am seeing two different sets of results rotating on an hourly basis. The one I see most often I believe is giving a preference to newer links. It also might be the case that the filter for paid links is off but I am much less confident about that.

I see another set of results much less frequently. It has more of a preference for more established sites. I like these results better but I think they are on the way out.

What are other people seeing. Not just a "My traffic is down" but what types of sites in your sector seem to benefit from the recent changes and what kind of linkbuilding are they doing.
