what have you noticed

I took over online marketing at my company in April 2010 and I can safely say it's not been an easy ride.

Because I work in-house it's difficult to tell whether trends are happening across the board or just to us.

In 2010 we have noticed and increase in search engine traffic but a reduction in referring sites and direct traffic.

Given the changes that have happened in the world of SEO in 2010 what have you noticed?

I've noticed that most the stuff in the SERPs is fluffed up ad pages, usually linked somehow to web pages that could be uniquely useful to the Internet. I'd like to see a search engine that offers important webpages first then the millions of other pumped up monetized mediocrities a couple of pages down the ranks.
