It seems to make sense from a logic point of view as well to measure a site's popularity as a function of time. It would also account for blog links that move from page 1 to page N over time.

Still in adult but mostly just dating/cams.

I can see that making sense for sites that churn out new content daily. But many surfers are also looking for articles, landing pages (sales pages) of one type or other, reference material, guides etc... Those types of sites tend to update very little.

Do you buy or create your own backlinks?
