Here is what I'm seeing, the old sites that were ranking completely tanked ... the new sites that are less then 2 months old held rankings or improved. I don't fking get it.

This is the same thing that I'm seeing. It looks like a random shakeup to see who's going to start dropping links all of a sudden or making abrupt changes.

All my new sites increases while my old sites dropped down. The link profiles are fairly similar with all of them. They are both non spammy.

I have just observed that Matt Cutts has such an annoying face.

yeah, my site is on a Roller coaster ride, went down for 3 weeks, then just last Saturday of Sunday I suddenly ranked up like hell, now goes down again,- it starts slowly and with every day it increases!!!
well, in the mean time i work on fine tuning and else - that's the best you can do anyway/ have stopped watching the ranking stuff - gives you just headache

And earlier this year we launched a page layout algorithm that reduces rankings for sites that don't make much content available "above the fold."

So what's google gonna do about google.com? Are they gonna get penalized? Cuz it's full of scraped content and 100% ads above the fold.
