Some people increased, some people decreased. Same old story. That's what updates do. My god, we don't need new threads made by every user on the forum to either gloat or whine about increased or decreased rankings.
From my experience Sape still seems to be working (maybe less effective), and in most of my niches the older domains which used to be down the bottom of the first page are now at the top.
Maybe this update put more weight on domain age, also it seems web 2.0 sites are still ranking well (webs, weebly etc).
This update didn't affect my sites much. However, it is uncool to post a thread flaunting how good the update has been to you as there are a lot of other BHWers that got hit by it.
I am lucky enough this time BHW won't be overcrowded with threads like "OMG, I've been hit by penguin, I lost everything", instead we see more happy people, hope it stays long
I've had mixed results so far...a few of my smaller sites have improved quite a bit...but one of my bigger sites has been all over the place today...as of right now 90% of the keywords are above position 100. But a few hours ago some of these were top 10 and other nowhere to be seen.
So I think at the moment it's too early to make a definitive conclusion. It might be worth adding though, that the site jumping all over the SERPS has good anchor text diversification but plenty of "bad neighborhood" links too...and a few VERY high quality relevant links - so will see where it goes. Also the smaller sites doing better have much fewer links - but primarily contextual links and social bookmarkings, no comments etc...
