Well I'm glad to hear it! I've never used blackhat methods on any of my sites and never shall. That was a good read Alan, I appreciate you sharing it.

Anyone care to share thoughts on the link velocity article that was linked to in that article too? That method seems grossly unfair to me on established sites that have lots of pages and sponsors that never change because they're happy with the high quality of a site. My understanding of that is that if you don't have fresh links, it counts against you.

I read the link velocty article earlier and couldn't quite get my head round this. Its clearly yet another dynamic like keyword density, proximity and prominence. Heres more work coming.
