Question for those of you seeing improvements...
Are your sites that are improving ones that were hit with unnatural link penalties?
I've said it many times, and I will say it again. JCPenney got nailed for a major unnatural link building scheme and was penalized for 90 days. Small website owners that did the same thing essentially, but on a much smaller scale, have been penalized for 150-180 days. How Google dishes out "manual actions" certainly has the appearance of favoring large corporations.
I'm just curious if what people are witnessing is an expiration of some manual penalties and not an algorithm change?
