I'm now holding 7 out of the top 30 slots for my term. All of the 7 point to different pages on the same domain. Snow white seo, but it looks spammy. I figure I'm due to get an authoritative-looking inset slot. Or are they going to age me for a while?
I've been seeing that as quite common since the Jan 23rd update at least.
Once you drill past the 2nd page, a handful of sites tend to dominate the next 7-8 pages.

That's about when things got weird over here. It's changed again since my last post. Now the domain root url has moved to slot 8 and all the page 2 slots are gone. First secondary listing is page 3. My guess is that the first page listing is firming up. To keep G primed, I'm drip-feeding it updates via pseudo-blog-format posts about every other day. These 'posts' are the one that have the poor man's cloaking of the date. So far, G seems to have latched on to that.

Looks like I'm watching some sort of update while in flux. Refreshed the page and now I have 2 slots on page 1 and 2 forum spams posts linking directly to pages in my site. One forum post was picked up by Google Groups, that's currently #1 slot. Other than the forum, the seo has all been on-page.
