Hi Melvin,

I have a feeling that Google will treat high authority sites just a little differently.

But if the new guidelines are strict, what you'll see is just one result from blogspot.com or wordpress.com for any particular keyword search, regardelss of subdomain.

Other subs will still be "indexed" and should still have linking value, but won't show in the SERPs.

It almost seems like a "land rush" and that we should try to get the good subs on the major third-party sites, like blogger, wordpress, hubbpages, squidoo, etc.
