Google set out to "index the web" and belatedly realized that wasn't a good idea. Google now wants to index the "unique" web, regardless of whether it is the original creator or a scraper...

Whatever Panda set out to do, it screwed the pooch, but the wonks at the Chocolate Factory always find another way to diminish the web with another tweak to the algo...

Don't get me wrong! I'm not trying to be ugly or show animus, merely stating the obvious: Google bit off more than it could chew (despite all their raw computing power and nifty programming). Panda was meant to REDUCE their serps. And probably did by the 10-12% sought... only problem is that reduction merely moved the scrapers UP by removing, by accident, creators of content.

Won't be long before Google finally rolls out what we all know is coming: Pay for SERP---"Your Web Site at #X for $x..."

The Tin Foil Hat part of me thinks some of that has been going on for a bit...
