"At which point, popularity of the page and domain comes into play."

"This is not always true"

In fact, it is anti-true.

In Decemeber Inktomi as a matter of policy removed PFI pages that were duplicated by free pages, regardless of links or anything else. PFI pages were removed without thought of any kind. This is at best utterly incompetent policy.

It appears Ink is trying to correct this problem, but thus far it has not rectified many of the problems its Decemeber meltdown caused.
