That is ONE of the segments I would totally recommend NOT doing any type of grey hat link building.
I run some financial sites and if you want to exchange some authentic content and some "white" hate exposure building -> forget the "link" building anymore.

I would be very careful in this post penguin world right now with non white hate tactics for links. What is the vertical you are trying to rank for?
Choose one of the URL's as the authoritive and remove the dupped content from the others.
Have you heard about this - you should of by now!

My thoughts are the recent updates and those of which that have been undisclosed at this point are closely related to the expanding of the addresses that will be assigned.
What do you think?
Well put , also keep in mind that to many no follow links are also not a good link profile Variation
I am having a similar issue ...but am only seeing a a few sites and it seems to be segments with grand competition and over use of keywords, like tactics that were grey hat are for sure black What tool displays ranking 200 to 300 indexed pages back in Google?
I operate a variety of real estate sites but to ensure succes not only on the SERPS and also paid placement ... I build them to cater to specific areas and market pricing. Where is your area? I could help you get some sites going or even offer you some placement depending on where you are.
I disagree with Alan Elbert, I ran 5 sites within the same niche (forex) which is silly competitive and we ran allow them on separate c class ISP to help cloak all of our linking and versatility on the web, not to mention soliciting each site as a stand alone company giving you higher revenue capabilities on affiliate partnerships etc
It is all about picking a niche that you can discuss daily if not no less than once a week. Then slowly through your current Facebook and other social mediums build your audience and when you are up to around 25 to 50 readers a day host a giveaway ...and I mean a nearly one... Free tickets to a water park or theme park, market the season and you will for sure gain exposure and most importantly on target backlinks. I can help you organize one through the many blogs I am running depending on your vertical
Going into the weekend search queries and traffic across the board with my clients has been crazy. Now Witt the post penguin update, things are even wackier! See if for some reason maybe some internal subpages of newer content has made some increase in rankings and be sure to analyze the entry points and referring sites and or keywords. Your webmaster tools will play a major role in this riddle.
Benjamin, keep in mind that the three dominant social outlets that are now being calibrated within googles algorithm are Facebook, twitter and google plus. This means a site ranking first page first spot will almost need to ensure a healthy spread of authoritive on topic links along with social outlets including low boune rates on your site. Hope this helps
So what affect is this playing on you guys?

Why over the holiday Google, why!?

David, I have exactly the same issue with a few clients myself and what I have found is, if the client is a business that caters to just one specific area vs a larger span then the click throughs will vary and the customer reviews with close proximity of location tend to do best.

So folks ...spill it, what are some of your new techniques in building backlinks to your or your clients site? I am sure many have come to a loss of direction as many grey hat techniques have gone very black and now many of us are just confused to what "it" is google wants to see. What is your game plan?
Great question and yes, it is a huge plus to renaming the images...BUT, don't go crazy. As in any keyword placement, variation is key...if it is just you working on the SEO then choose no more than 10, no less than 3 keywords. Name them accordingly... What it seems google is loving even more.... Long tails !
