The junk I am seeing this morning is from sites with significant reciprocal and cross linking. Surely, they can find some compromise filter setting? Perhaps that's what this whole -in exercize is all about until they finally move everything over to www.
sites with significant reciprocal and cross linking
cross-linking definitely needs stopping but I don't agree with reciprocal linking. How does a small / new commercial site go about getting links which are not reciprocal? Dmoz maybe but there are few directories which do not require a reciprocal link.
But be prepared, if they come out something funny, it might come back again in the future, until they develope a better system!
The OOP in florida has actually happens before in June/July if you remembered. It was called semi-penalty by that time.
[google.com...]
The number of Yahoo pages in Google has dropped from 21,900,000 (still shown on -DC) to 14,200,000 a couple hours ago to 14,100,000 now.
Here's what the various data centers are currently showing:
DC: 21,900,000
CW: 21,800,000
FI: 21,500,000
AB: 21,000,000
VA: 20,500,000
EX: 15,400,000
WWW: 14,100,000
WWW2: 14,100,000
WWW3: 14,100,000
IN: 14,100,000
I've seen similar drops in the number of indexed pages for every site I check.
Has anyone else noticed this?

BTW - I have the key phrase which is HIGHLY competitive in the title, body and anchor text. It seem I am only being partially penalized. I wonder what would happen if I made a few adjustments. I also have around 40 recip links with a page dedicated to related links.
watching it is giving me a spinooranza
feel exactly the same here. Stability would be great so I could plan long term. I seem to waste most of my time just seeing my traffic going up and down like a yo-yo. My site was stable for 2 years, but the past 6 months have been a roller coaster. I much preferred the update once a month with stable results.
