Topic relevance - Link article

[dburdon]

I am in the process of writing an article on linking strategy and Topic relevance in particular.

Contributions are welcome. PM, e-mail me (david@simplyclicks.com) or post your thoughts below.

Anecdotal or empirical evidence is welcome.

A slogan.

You are who you link to and who links to you.

1. Is the importance of linkbuilding decreasing?
2. How biased is the Google pagerank as a measure of quality content? Is it possible to find a better measure?
3. The potential for artificial intelligence to measure / judge onsite content? Is it possible to train bots, like you train a neural net?

David, few comments. Take a look at The Collective Mind Search Engine Project

"As I see it now, the algorithm will be made of variable settings of:

- popularity (not link, but surf popularity)
- key word density analysis"
