Good Short Read From Google

Interesting they say that PageRank has a lot to do with the "quality" of sites that link to you. Not much to do with if the site is relevant to your site. As I suspected. A few quality ranks FAR outweighs thousands of non-quality.

Yessss

Also very interesting that they are treating the data from usenet postings with the same weight as their other data - another area to be mined?

Are you talking about the deja group they acquired? You know, I have tried posting to it to no avail. It is very confusing right now. I wonder if by posting in there, you get some link pop thingy going?
