The content farm business model that just scraped content is worried. They say they will be building more content for their websites. Should be interesting in the serps this year.

"Many of the changes we make are so subtle that very few people notice them. But in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our rankingโ€”a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queriesโ€”and we wanted to let people know whatโ€™s going on. This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sitesโ€”sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sitesโ€”sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."

Nothing has really changed. They've always tried to crack down on spam, content farms, low quality sites etc. They're just making a very public statement in hopes that people after reading it, produce less of it, to help make their job easier.

I quite enjoy this recent update, and strongly approve of Google doing this.

It's about time Google did something about these farms spewing poor quality content into the index.
