Dunno but today feels like it's either the calm before the storm or the
calm after.

Not one change in all my tracked SERPS - it just doesn't happen unless
google are starting something or finishing something. I hope it's the
latter.

My guess is that Google is learning that all the link farm pages are now
rel="nofollow" and is progressively de-penalising the site for being part of
a link scheme. It would further help if you stopped those pages being
indexed with robots.txt, meta robots no index, and also requested Google to
delete the pages from its index. The site remains at risk now if some
competitor links to one of the link farm pages to keep it in, or put it back
in the index.

Best regards, Eric.
