      I mean, like the complete opposite of what Panda is supposed to be doing...

      We've just had a discussion here and each went through a bunch of examples of sites that have sprung up and are ranking with the worst, spammiest backlink profiles ever, and poor content with little to zero on-page SEO.

      It's not accross the board by any means, and certainly there is no obvious pattern but there were a fair few examples we just looked at (I best not provide them for ethical reasons).

      It just "feels" like there's something going on...

        I think that the SERPs look pretty good here in the USA.

        My only complaint is that powerful sites with one page of information about a subject can outrank less powerful sites that have the Bible for that topic.

          Yeah I think it's almost difficult to see it anyway as it's so random and isn't affecting the SERP's in general... it just seems to be literally "some" SERPs. I wish I could give an example.

          Maybe I'm just becoming more and more paranoid lol
