Looking forward to the new article Dan…all I've been thinking about is internal linking and site structure since I've read your book. It was a big eye opener. I didn't realize how that can really improve or hinder your site's success when it comes to PR.

Most of them I am not at all surprised to see there. But one is very strange: it's the only page on the site with a PR4 (instead of 1,2 or 3 like everything else - the home page is a 3), and it's the page with the second-highest number of incoming external links, after the home page. It's #1 in Google for terms like "buy used lego" - out of "over 2 million" results.</p> <p>Makes me wonder if the hack is still working?</p> Here's something odd: the & hack shows 9 pages out of 50 on my site.

Makes me wonder if the hack is still working?
