We're experiencing gains as well with both Google (12%) and Yahoo/Bing (18%).

What I find happening a lot of times is that every time Google makes an algorithmic change, some people lose their minds and scramble to make changes -- often times overreacting and potentially doing more harm to their sites than if they just left it alone and focused on building it's content.

In many cases, things usually settle down once all the indexes, data centers, etc merge and things go back to normal.

Personally, I think people spend far too much time stressing over stats and watching Google than actually building up their sites. A more productive use of time would be in fleshing out their own sites and build content that caters to their target demographic sufficient to keep their users engaged for extended periods of time. If the focus is on content and surfer engagement, then picking up a few links here and there will only help, not hurt. Generally speaking, it's when you have really "thin" sites that you likely need to react every time there is an update.
