and therefore it also would follow that google would consider links off of pages to have different authority or value... like blog comments links vs. blog content links vs. forum post links vs. signature links etc... where one would have thought and hoped that any link on a page would be equal, it seems likely that google has discriminatory ways in ranking link values based on where the links are found and in what type of site they are found
thinking about this when the xrumer stuff started getting out of hand, forums have always been a great place to see viral buzz and links from forums were generally a good indicator of value, but now with the spammers abusing linkspam scripts one would think that google would be working on ways to combat that (and possibly costing the legit value of legit forum links)
