One more theory...Google: Current Algo Update-Dance -> High Rankings Search Engine Optimization Forum

Google: Current Algo Update-Dance -> High Rankings Search Engine Optimization Forum: "the results are dominated by quasi, directory-like web pages. This is what leads me towards concluding that G has implemented something similar to Hilltop. Studying that document closely compels me think it is likely that an Expert Page can also become an Authority Page.

Expert Pages are described as pages 'about a certain topic with links to many non-affiliated pages about that same topic'.....operative words are 'many' and 'non-affiliated'

Authority Pages are described as 'an authority on the certain topic if and only when some of the best expert pages link to it'.

Directory-like sites that are informational- based fit the profile of both Expert and Authority. Typically, those type of sites would not have an abundance of affiliated links.

IMO, they have been rewarded by fitting the descriptions and having backlinks that are typically non-afilliated."
