The first thought that came to my mind was that she was unable to game the system anymore. Turns out I wasn't the only one. gettheyayo (dead comment) remarked > What's more likely to have happened: she lost her way of making money. She charged money and had to deliver. She no longer can thanks to Google.
I might be able to take comments like "rewarding content more" seriously if w3schools wasn't still at the top of almost every HTML, CSS, and JavaScript search query. I realized one day that I just use Google to quickly navigate a few websites I actually do use. This is something like the 99.9% case. At that point, I realized my search queries where I include the website I want and keywords I want to find in that site…
"The tricks to beat and spam Google, Whalen said, no longer work as well." LOL. I know a half dozen guys who build millions of automated links every day. They say an easy term and they're in the top 5 results after 5 days, a hard term (a variety of diet pills, etc.) and it takes them a month. They get manually banned from time to time, but they just pull another URL from their pool and start over. It's gotten more so…
Note: I mean no slight to the folks who provide a genuine optimization service, just those who are essentially scammers.

Hey Austen, if you'd be interested in sharing any specifics (companies, keywords, people, etc.) regarding people spamming by leaving millions of links gumming up the web, my team would be happy to investigate in more detail.

Spamming sites still worked pre-hummingbird and infact it works even better now.
Even Negative SEO works just as well. Have a competitor you don't like? Give him 100k blog comments with "Buy Viagra" and suddenly he will be de indexed in 3 months or less.
I think half the reason she quit is that SEO is so damn unpredictable now. You can make a spammy site and might rank or might get de-indexed. But at the same time you can make a 100% whitehat site and it probably won't even rank and can get just as easily de-indexed as a blackhat spam site.
You need to read up on BlackHatWorld a bit more Mr Cutts.
