This week, Rand discusses how search engines are using historical linking and reference patterns to help determine, and reward, primary source material in blog and news searches.  Could this bring implications in keyword searches?

Check it out and weigh-in with your thoughts on what may one day be called the Bloodhound aspect of the algorithm.
