I am wondering if this is a new dance for new sites. Google needing to analyze the quality of the sites more so they need more time to determine ranking for newer sites.

I see a ton of new movement, and I dont think its largely related to content IMO (I dont use shit spun content). I think they are devaluing shit links. Me Thinks this because my sites with shit links have tanked, while older authority sites with solid links have topped out at #1/2.
The days of shitloads of comment and profile link blast benefits may be on their way out..

A lot of my deep links which have great content but are backed up with a lot of social bookmarking have dropped in the serps - so they have definitely discounted the weight they are giving to these type of links
LOL, this is how WF makes you smarter. You learn to read between the lines.
Hah, I was sure someone was going to tell me to march my ass over to bhw...not yet.
Well first, fortunately, 95% of SEOs are so bleachy white or not creative enough, and wouldn't even think of this. Secondly, is there even a way to tell that you've been -1'd (my new verb)? Not too mention where the hell it's coming from.
Technically it's not a -1, but rather a block. you block them from showing up in your serps ever again. I'm making the assumption that Google would use this crowd data to judge the quality of your site....enough of them and maybe its not something they want anyone seeing? at least not on first page...case study anyone?
Yes - I will do a case study on a throwaway niche that we can all pitch in on but none of my site results display a "block" option.
What gives?
This is likely a flawed assumption.
Google has already demonstrated that they will not allow Google Bombing and AdSense Manipulation, two variations of this assumption you are making about a third product of theirs.
My traffic on my biggest and oldest site is up a bit. I don't know if it's just normal fluctuation or not though.
Old news, dude. This article says nothing but says there is a rumor.
If you've been following news about the Open Graph at all you'd have known all of this a year ago.
Socialized feedback is one thing (that can be mimicked) but increased bounce rate weight is completely another. Obvious solutions: higher content quality, deeper content, stronger relationship between keyword searched for and actual content on resulting page, and aid the searcher in finding the content he's looking for on the page itself.
^That's not sketchy, it's business.
It's the publisher's job to KEEP THEM LOOKING AT THEIR ADS for as long as possible, so it's therefore the publisher's job to NOT give them the answer they came looking for too fast.
no way, not in web design.
Web developer's job is to get the visitor the information to respond quickly and with a few clicks as possible. The longer they linger without finding what they came for, the more likely it will be for the visitor to hit the BACK button and be gone before they click exactly what we want them to (CPA offer, Contact form, email signup). We work too hard to attract that traffic. Close the deal.

But looking through goog's eyes the more time a person spends on a site with adsense, the more ads they will see, therefore a higher probability that said person will click on one of the g's ads thus making them $. MFA sites are made simply to not provide the viewer exactly what he is looking for but the ads directing the flow to another site.
one more thing, a publisher is not the same as a web developer, although one can be the other
