Value of the Neighborhood

I'm a few days behind, and while catching up on my reading I noticed a really interesting post from the Link Building Blog, martinibuster on Neighborhoods, http://www.linkbuildingblog.com/2005/07/martinibuster_o.html from a few days ago. A post, he says, appeared in SEW by Martinibuster-- yes, dirty with lots of olives, please-- that really emphasizes the whole concept of links as neighborhoods. While the overall concept is you are who you associate with, this leads to the notion of neighborhood mapping, or link mapping. In turn this leads logically to some fairly certain speculations about what sort of classifications Google gives those websites backlinked especially to loads of SEO and media/marketing sites. http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showpost.php?p=54060&postcount=13.

"look out, they're bringin' down the neighborhood."
