It's sad to think that the main way to counteract the MayDay changes will be massive linkspam, yet the competing sites who still rank all seem to be doing just that.

I'm seeing sites with well structured internal link structure using target anchor text doing better.

Also backlinks from on topic sites still weighing higher than garbage backlinks despite what open site explorer says.

PS I still think there's a way to go in terms of re-instating human applied penalties. I'm seeing a few sites that previously had -6 or -10 penalties back in the top 5.
