      Referencing this article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/06/google_cans_11m_dot_co_dot_cc_sites/

      Curious what the ramifications of this to SEO (improve rankings over spammy results, etc) and to hear thoughts on this.

        I don't remember ever seeing one of those sites above mine in the search engines... so this was simply like Google tossing a shovel of manure out the back of the barn.

            One of my websites got knocked off the first page. Another website got listed on the first page.

            We believe Panda is rewarding sites that are optimized, updated and continually improved using white hate best practices.

            We are confident that in the long run, Panda is making it a level playing field for legitimate websites.
