Google Returning to Pre-DP Coop Levels?
I might be on crack, but it looks like Google might have made it back to some pre-DP coop ranking levels for a couple of sites that I have. I have been running coop on these sites since its inception and have not changed how they do much (except for adding a few terms here and there) over this time. Looks to me that over the past few days a number of terms that these sites ranked for before the coop have returned to their pre-coop levels. Of course this could be a fluke and akin to the planets aligning for a day, but I thought I would make a note of what I may be seeing here.

Could be related to Google finally purging their index of some spam.
With an estimated 7, 000,000,000 pages of spam removed over the last couple of days it means more space in the index for the rest of us.
