...sites enjoying 6 to 8 positions within top 30 ranks

webindia123 - What you're observing has been discussed for the past week in another thread...

Host Crowding vs Brand Authority

Note that we're often seeing as many as 16 or 17 positions over the top 30 results. I'll post further discussion on that thread, but I am seeing a shift in those positions, at first glance anyway toward fewer results.

It might be helpful for people posting shifts to note where they are, as apparently this isn't appearing everywhere at once.
