A small team of human bullshit detectors could easily review the relatively limited number. Given the prominence that Google often gives the news in blended results, you'd think it might be worth the investment for the sake of SERP quality. Google, schmoogle.

The B&B link turned out to be an interesting experiment. I checked the search results after I published and hackbash was ranking within an hour for 'jolly good B&B', which isn't exactly how we pitch the blog. I've checked back a few times to see if the B&B I linked to would begin ranking, and was about to point out to Randip that one of the main principles of SEO and linkbuilding practice didn't work and thus he and about a third of iCrossing's staff should probably pick up their coats. It's there now. You can take your coat off Randip, but don't get too cocky. Cheers Tamsin, me too.
