a- What factors NOW influence Search Engines when analyzing the "Power" of a Back Link?
b- What factors differentiate a Valid Back Link from a useless Back Link?
c- How varied show those keywords be among the Back Links of a particular Website being linked to - for it NOT to be considered Overly SEO'd?
d- Can some Back Links actually HURT a site?
e- Is Click Popularity - being HEAVILY factored into a sites' rise on the SERPs?
f- Like Ask Jeeves using Subject-Specific-Link-Popularity, are Back Links coming from a similar THEMED page, NOW given more weight?
g- Is the overall common Theme of a Web site helpful in its Search Engine Ranking.
h- Is "TRUST RANK" now a heavily influential factor in a Web site Domain Name - adding more believability to all the other Web pages in that particular site?
