Exactly, and Google is not telling webmasters what they do or the changes they make, it is in their interest to keep
SEO's off balance, especially Black Hat
SEO's.
Today there are a lot more webmasters following Google guidelines, many of them are also looking over their shoulder a hell of a lot more since the spam reporting form was introduced to the webmaster community in regard to reporting shady webmasters and link brokers.
Your friend of today may be your enemy tomorrow in the new environment.
