Florida is definitely up there for me. My sites were in that 85-95% of sites that got dropped so far down they are almost impossible to find. I believe my sites are within Googles guidelines, as I've always focused on making a useful site, and let the site sink or swim on its own merits.

It seems the intent was to eliminate a lot of spammy datafeed results, but the outcome has been a definite loss of relevancy. They threw the baby out with the bath water, and unwittingly (?) made it appear to be a $$ grab via increased Adwords revenue.

I've actually been using Alltheweb since the update. Their results are actually more relevant than google's for the searches I've been doing.
