Shatner, when I lost some rankings last year during one of the updates, I got to thinking that the mix of the type of content on my site might be confusing Google where it hadn't before. I suspect you may be right about what's going on now, although I'd have an extremely hard time splitting my site up.

As for Google charging for ranking, I'm certain that would be the end of Google, as the results would be skewed to the big companies that can afford to pay.
