Every time I hear the word "Hilltop" used out of context or someone divising a hot new linking strategy to take advantage of "Hilltop", I re-read this excellent thread started by tedster:

[webmasterworld.com...]

ciml's quote stands out the most for me:

I don't know anyone who's found link-theming in Google using controlled-conditions test.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I haven't seen any evidence of "link-theming", hubs, authorities, or anything else other than your standard, 2002, "it's got more links, so it's ranking well, and links from it mean more" type results.

I'm asking someone to prove to me that Hilltop/link-theming is being used. Let's revisit the concept discussed in that thread: Is hilltop in play?

I, for one, have not swallowed the "Hilltop" magic pill yet.
