Just back (way) off your keyword densities, adjust your titles, use "proper" sentence structure, don't keyword load your internal links and "THINK THEMES".
Most importantly, when rewriting your pages ... Remember that one page affects the others.
Also think levels. Index is most important and can bare higher keyword density, second level, lower your density, third level, lower density again ... etc.
Good luck!
Oh, and back to the madness of the summer too - if you search for the two-word name of our site, you get a one page blog site with 21 recognised backlinks and a sentence saying "this site has moved", ranked above our 420 page content site with 307 recognised backlinks. We were here before in the time when people's index pages didn't come up first when they searched for their site name.
:( :( :(

ex-ex (216.239.33.99) seems different than ex-va (216.239.37.99) - however, did anyone notice that there is also a 216.239.37.98?
I don't mean like the old dance - where the tweaking was presumably to improve results, I mean tweaks for the sake of tweaking to keep the spammers and SEOs at bay.
Just my oppinion!
Ive only just got out of bed but already can see a new google update thread getting out of hand - time for some coffee and another forum!
You know what?
I am going back to bed, time for hibernation time....
It's the winter....
The search results look great to me.
Folks should realise that 216.239.37.99 is www.google.ch
Other servers that are showing the same results are:
www.google.nl (216.239.37.147)
www.google.ch (216.239.37.99)
www.google.fr (216.239.39.99)
www.google.be (216.239.39.99)
www.google.de (216.239.39.99)
www.google.at (216.239.37.104)
This update might better be referred to as "Paris" or "London"(or some other european city).
Just my 2 cents.
Lets recap:
- A) Clearly a serp update at one major dc and it appears to be filtering to all dcs.
- B) New serps are on AOL.
- C) New serps have been seen on Yahoo.
- D) Page rank updated? Doesn't appear so.
- E) Not a major reroll like Florida, but some minor targetted stuff does appear to be different.
(lets stay on topic)
I've checked out the AOL results and "lord knows" what they are doing to the mix. I have always seen different results on AOL. Albeit, not quite this different from the straight Google results.
Basically, we will not be found in Google.
Looks like a slight relax to the Florida Filter but they did a MAJOR addition of additional Filter keywords.
I will also need a cardboard box until another search engine takes over googles #1 postion.

Even though that data center is now down, the cache center is still up and running.
IN FACT that server shows the EXACT results that I see on AOL now and occasionally on WWW.google.com
ONE datacenter folks.
It has also been the case that the cache for www is indeed one of the "cache" servers for one of the other datacenters. WWW seems to randomely pull from any of the bank of servers. This has been the case, if not forever, at least for the few months since Florida.
Although, as we all know, it is possible for the results from one server to spread to the others, it is just as possible that they won't.
Lets not panic just yet!
p.s. I will agree that the results on 216.239.37.104 are awful from where I sit.
Definately not - at least not all results. Although the results at google.de are different than a few hours ago, they are also different than the results at 216.239.37.99. Leads me to think that they are cooking something at 216.239.37.99 and bringing it either in parts or step by step to the other dc's. As always with updatish movements at google: too early for conclusions ... i can't see any pattern yet.
