Called the Florida update, this has a lot of SEO so called "Professionals" highly agitated to say the least. A number of sites just disappeared off the radar just before Christmas. Our opinion.... most of them deserved it. From what we've seen, the bulk of the people who lost out where using techniques to boost their rankings that went against Google's rules. None of our customers were dramatically affected. Coincidence?

We say shut up, stop threatening stupid lawsuits and ask like a professional for a change. Google's listings is a free service and they can do pretty much whatever they choose to do.
