That’s fascinating Richard – thanks for sharing. I didn’t even know about the anchor change – was there an official announcement on that?

Happy to hear Linkscape’s making a difference to your bottom line. I like the new hub finder, myself.

Hi Gab

My two things (so far this year) are:

1) The way Google is changing the anatomy of their search results to accomodate anchors (“#”‘s) and RDFA / Hcard microformats. That’s a great move for conversion and CTR in the organic serps

2) The metrics we have at our disposal to describe the value of a link. I’m a hardcore linkscape fan – it’s made a lot of difference to my bottom line…

Hope that’s useful!
