On a monthly basis I optimize websites for about 50 clients. After carefully reviewing the SERPS on 64. there are a few things that stand out.
This is what I have seen:
Clients with networks of sites interlinked - Bad Update
Duplicate content issues - Bad Update
Lots of incoming links with strong anchor text - Good Update
Large website with thousands of pages - Good Update
It seems anchor text is much stronger in this update, but people who relied on dozens of websites interlinking will continue to suffer with this update. One way to recover, build other links besides your own internal link structure.
This is most defiantly not a roll back to pre-florida. The only thing that is similar is the fact that anchor text is counting much more in this update. Google has done a great job with Austin and Brandy by getting rid of subdomain spam and niche portal spam. The SERPS are much cleaner.
