Good morning!
I haven't noticed any difference in a check on 20 keywords or so, apart from a few moves up or down 2 or 3 places, in 12 days now. That is, apart from a new keyword I added to the title and content 12 days ago, and that has climbed dramatically.
However, as of yesterday lunchtime [UK time] page views on my main site have increased dramatically, in fact by about 700%!
I was concerned this may be temporary, but on getting up this morning, the viewing figures continue to be excellent.
For me, the update so far has been incredible, and as I am speaking personally, it's not all doom and gloom, as I am very happy with the results to date.
I am not sure that the UK index has been updated yet, as they said Europe would follow after the main index update.
We are sitting here with fingers crossed, but at the end of the day, Google is THE best index around, and I just hope it comes right for all the guys on here.
I didn't change anything, apart fromadding one keyword to the title and content. However, my site has no canonical issue, no keyword stuffing, no duplicate content, and is very spider friendly. Also, every URL on the site is distinct.
Where?
>>However my local Google does not seem to be affected yet.
I see the same.
>>I don't know if this helps, but the changes I have made in the past week are:
1) Changed META descriptions so they don't repeat on every page as much
2) Reduced META keywords on every page
3) Changed all page titles so I don't repeat my company's slogan on every page
4) Implemented a 301 redirect
5) Tidied up my links and removed any dead links
6) Found a couple of sites who were copying my content and asked them to remove it (which they did)
7) Re-designed my website footer so i didn't repeat certain words. ie, I design things so the footer had "blue widget design", "red widget design" etc etc - so every page had "widget design" showing a lot at the bottom <<
Thanks for sharing!
Would you be kind to post the same on this thread where we are trying to gather as many tips as possible. Thanks.

I think your analysis is bang on :-)
I don't follow the DC's like some guys on here, as I don't have the time, but on looking at your chosen DC's, the results look quite stable, apart from small changes.
My keywords are in exactly the same place on all 4, although they have been like that for 12 days, give or take minor movement.
