		<description>Links are everything regardless of strategy. This is why older domains can sometimes
be a good idea if you can pick one
up with a ton of inbound links already.

However, MSN seems to treat newer sites
quite well as long as you have the inbounds.  If you've got the link volume, MSN can be a
healthy traffic source.</description>

		<description>What about links from 'authority' sites like Ezinearticles and web2.0 sites like Squidoo?

I don't think they will be 'dropping off' anytime soon in the forseeable future...</description>

		<description>I do not believe that "heavy linking" works. Like you said, those sites drop off in an update - that update was several years ago. 

Smart linking works, and it will continue to work, because it is editorially based. If Google tried to ax editorial links, they would be left with AltaVista of ten years ago.</description>

		<description>I agree that sites need links to a point, I would also like to make you aware of multiple algorithms for different types of sites. Links are relative, so if you niche is one that is not based on the number of links, you are required few to rank. For example, trying to rank for "SEO" related things is hell if you do not play the linking game. 

BUT you are right Scott, links are still a major part of ranking in search engines but over time engines will become smarter. This is why heavy linkig works until the sites drop off in an "update", the sites I care about do not do this because they obtain links @ a natural organic pace.</description>
