Google Updating backlinks etc.

[Linkster]

Update is in progress - SERP changes started a few days ago - now the backlinks are changing - big differences I see are that the site-scrapers are moving out of the backlinks, but the good high PR sites are still not showing in the backlinks. Found a note by that Google engineeer over at WMW that says they changed the way they are going to display backlinks and basically comes out and says it was some members idea over there - to throw off people checking other peoples backlinks to see how they are gaining link pop. - Pretty stupid stuff.
Looks like a lot of the LLs that have been around for a while have lost some of their 2 and 3 word search phrase positions - although Im hearing reports from some that say traffic is up, most I have checked with say that traffic is way down from the SEs.

Of course this is about the time Google played this game last year with a rollback of their DB and it came back after a few weeks if I remember correctly?
