scott,

My post was in reference to the 3 industries I currently operate in. They are 1 informative blog, and 2 not so typical stores/online shops, but they are, kind of hard to explain.

I also have 4 steady clients who I have been monitoring during this fiasco as well.

I emphasize that this is what I am personally seeing because I can not put a sure conclusion on it like I normally can because I have limited time since my wife gave birth to our baby boy a little over two weeks ago so I have been very strapped for time or I would have really been all over this.

Also, it appears that google may also be boosting up its over optimization filters as well. I am seeing a lot of sites who depend on sitewide links and repetitive anchors really tank.

But at the same time, sites who spam dofollow comments on single pages, varying the anchor seem to be doing well. As well as non sitewide hidden links. This is just based on a short sample, dont hold me to it.
