But your wrong punkworld.... google doesnt flip algos for "fairness" or for everyone to get an equal chance at the top position. They flip algos to weed out the scammers & keep them on their toes. They refine it a lot.. but for the most part its to throw the spammers/scammers for a loop (changing of the algo.)
I've said quite a few times (maybe from the start even?) that this isn't about scamming or spamming the engine, or doing things that would get you banned, I don't know why everyone wants to keep suggesting this. When you start looking at font colors and trying to find every possible variable and stuff like that... your playing more with page rank, which helps determine relevence & like said before in this thread.. pagerank is overrated. Pagerank is a scale fom 0-10 no? Google is indexing 3,083,324,652 pages... sort of blows that 0-10 scale out of the water. You want to be in a position to where pagerank for your site (so long as its avg) is irrelevent.
If you had done your homework & looked around you would ahve seen that there are tons of sites out there in top positions with lower pageranks than the listings BELOW them. Pagerank does have a few other very important jobs though... but if your doing yours right and making sure your pages all have avg pagerank, you'll be ok.
