I'm sure their human SPAM reviewing department has grown significantly in size. They have billions of dollars. They could greatly improve relvancy by hiring a few thousand people in India (current cheap labor market for tech companies) to constantly review results for the top 10,000 or 100,000 keywords. This would REALLY make their results very high quality, at least for those keywords.

Democratic content is a great contributor to relevant search content. Even when blogs are used to promote or recommend products, The information is useful, interesting and still more unbiased than commercial web sites. I think people are savvy enough to take blog content at face value and make good decisions on their own. Even if bloggers are compensated for their articles, they are not going to compromise their credibility by becoming advocates for products they don't believe in.

They've never really seemed to work out well for me, and many are starting to predict that Google are going to start penalising Blog's a lot more now. Perhaps this is just the eye of the storm?
