So far as I can immediately tell, Inktomi as it operates so far is far more vulnerable to link pop manipulation than Google. Google seems far far more efficient at weighting rankings according to a wider range of factors. If my initial observations are valid, it would mean that getting high results for indexed content in Inktomi through link pop alone would be fairly easy, and much more than Google. However, as we've all seen, Inktomi is a bit of a hormonal engine, and cannot be relied upon to index content predictably. So I guess that means mixed results for all. :)

EDOT: Oh, and hello all. And a special hi to Janeth - good to see a familiar face. :)
