Google lately release a major update to their algo, http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-more-high-quality-sites-in.html , stating they address results quality. Techcrunch here: http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/24/google-targets-content-farms-with-major-search-algorithm-tweaks/ talk about Demand Media, Associated content and Mahalo. Do you agree with them? do you have others in mind?

Answer:
I just read this article were they show the biggest losers (and winners) so far: http://searchengineland.com/who-lost-in-googles-farmer-algorithm-change-66173 ezinearticles, suite101, hubpages, associatedcontent... the list just goes on. Apparently, Demand Media's eHow has been taken out of the research. Another interesting article about it: http://www.seobook.com/google-kills-ehows-competitors

The more conspicuous the content farm/link factory, the more likely they are to get flagged. You can already report someone for black flag tactics -- once Google gets wind, it's probably all over. On a positive note, the big G is beginning to offer an alternative in the effectiveness of content/social -- companies don't really need to rely on SEO as much anymore. Matt Cutts has come out and said its only a matter of time before the search engines become smart enough that they'll be almost self regulating. I've got the audio clip here of him chatting; and there's also a video of Coca Cola explaining why they're investing in content -- and not SEO: http://cdig.co/HrYsGh.
