Over and done with?
All done all through?
i found most of the sites that took a knock in sept 22 had over used kw's spanning title, description, on page and url. Though IMO the on page factor was to a lesser extent. I could be wrong though.
i looked at around 30+ sites. This was common throughout.
Others may comment and help you out but not many solid conclusions have been posted about this by those who cleaned up there sites and have their rankings back. (or any i could see)
"If you missed or simply ignored messages 290 and 298:
GG tells ya straight out it's an experimental db.
GG tells ya it's off in its own corner.
GG tells ya if (if, not when) anything comes of it,
the time frame would be months (with an s, as in plural) not days or weeks."
Its sad we have to wait that long, but ok I have been waiting for 13 month now for them to fix 302bug, non www stuff, so what the heck.
it just about sums up the current state of the serps doesn't it when a GB outranks sites. so it makes you wonder how long it will be before they do a re-think on this current mess
I see tons of Craigslist SPAM ads ranking for competetive finance terms. Most of the time, the pages no longer exist.

One thing I have noticed is that some sites which sank during Florida whether they were doing anything dodgy or had just made mistakes, and who then cleaned up and returned to the top, have mostly stayed stayed firm during this update, maybe dropping a few pages but then coming back quickly.
I don't know whether cleaning up will help or not, but if it helps our site to evolve into something more solid, I'll do that!
I did indeed lose all of my site rankings on Sept. 22. They came back on Oct. 17, until late into Jagger. Then, I lost 3 (or more) of my pages rankings due to obvious penalties, but maintained hundreds of others.
So, hmmmm.
Maybe google changed their mindset on penalizing entire site vs. individual pages under certain circumstances?
Back again after last nights excitement. I just had time to fully expand on the anomoly, just in time for 'G' to rectify the issue. Anyhow it was fun while it lasted, with some hilarious results after analysis.
Cheers
