Hi Spock. As UW alluded to above, google knows what surfers like and dislike. They keep track of what links surfers click on, how long they stay on a site, what they look at on the site, and what they do afterwards. Bounce rate, time on site, number of pages viewed, are all critically important.

Google penalized LL's because of the recip linking schemes, but LL's also don't deliver on the relevant factors above...on a LL everytime a surfer clicks on a link, they bounce off of your site.

I don't claim to have all, or any, of the answers here and am certainly not even hinting that anyone needs to do a tube. I didn't like tgp's and wasn't too fond of tubes when they came out. I wish the LL model would have kept on forever, I really liked it.

That said, a good analogy (imho) if I've been racing regular horses and doing fine, and someone comes in with a better breed of horse that starts winning all of the races, at some point I have to think about getting myself one of those horses if I want to continue placing in the races.
