Or are you just going to hit the little guys with a side helping of col damage and leave the real offenders who are pushing the good stuff down?

That right there is my gut fear...that the changes are more about removing the "competition" for the big boys rather than removing the big boys themselves. The whole deal has felt like manufactured propaganda to me from start to now (tech blog outcries and all). But then I'm always suspicious re: google and its true intentions.

Are you serious that ehow is outranking that killer authority page of yours?

I know the serps are still brewing and stewing but lmao the past few days watching a) a 404 page sitting in the #2 spot for a high traffic term (for days now) and #8 is a c&p of my page (which so far is still holding #1) and b) a low-quality directory page sitting at #1 that my highly linked "authority page" was sitting at #1 for years now.

Oh google. Or is it giggle.

Overall my rankings don't seem to have been affected much but the traffic is MIA. Maybe users are bailing google in droves?
