Mommy, where do links come from?
Below, I’m reblogging my own comment on a very important blog post from Fred Wilson, which is actually just Fred reblogging a comment from a reader earlier this week. The comment below is in reply to a comment that the author wrote to Fred’s post, which was really a post made by himself, reblogged by Fred. Got it?
What makes you think that passed won’t surpass search sooner than later? A hypothesis I’m playing around with is that Google relatively overvalues links from more complicated publishing technologies (blogs/standard HTML) versus simple publishing tech (Twitter, FB, etc). So, if the velocity and quantity of links from the latter increase at a rate faster than the former, it should change the mix.
I think there is some value in looking at things from the POV of the link publisher (and the demo/psycho/technographics of that population)
At any rate, thanks for sharing that analysis, Ben really killer! I’m going to pass along a link to it to all my pals…via a link I hard code into a static HTML page
;-)
