kgun,
It has occurred to me coming out off a 10 hour "hallucinogenic REM) sleep ("normal" coming down from a 44 hour workday) that we need to answer some basic linking questions in light of a potential "dawning" of "TrustRank" days ahead, if we can prophesy or speculate for a just a moment:
There is this old idea hanging around for a number of years that discourage OBLs, proclaiming that they "bleed off" PageRank. In fact we have alluded to it here, in this thread. Compounding that, from another direction, some of us have clients that are abjectly opposed to OBLs ---- period---!:
Let's put "PageRank" at "second seat", just behind "TrustRank" for a moment and try to answer a few linking questions from a "TrustRank" perspective, if we can, based on the math, but in plain English.
There are three (if I count right, correct me if I am wrong) statements made in the "TrustRank" algs that seem to be at the core of the calculations concerning linking and trust factor application for a site in the course of trust ranking review:
Three main factors TrustRank is based upon:
1) Good pages rarely link to bad ones. Bad pages often link to good ones in an attempt to improve hub scores.
2) The care with which people add links to a page is often inversely proportional to the number of links on the page.
3) Trust score is attenuated as it passes from site to site.”
These are core issues of the "PageRank" algorithms that seem to have already been being implemented to some degree.
It is MY OPINION that during the "Jagger" update that Google ran "smack up" against an "infrastructure" wall that extended that update beyond what they expected (6 weeks), resulting in a subsequent need to revise the existing infrastructure so that "TrustRank" algorithms could be implemented more efficiently. Now we are looking at a big bad beefed up "Big Daddy".
I'd like to hear your comments and opinions on that position and these linking issues from an expert and scholarly mathematical position, in plain English addressing those 3 issues.

No Televisions, Radios or any other background distraction... They corrupt working and resolving issues while sleeping.
