vitaplease,

I kinda missed that one, yeah I think I meant popularity of webmasters rather than hits, though their both a bit chicken-and-egg ;)

Do you think they have any way of getting traffic information appart from their toolbar? Am I right in thinking they don't /redirect?my.domain.com from the results.. Moreover do you think google would use traffic information if they had it?

(I vaguely remember something in one of the original papers about the concern using traffic info would lead to a feedback loop.. with which I'd agree.)
