all this talk about embedded onsite links working well might just be a result of them reindexing everything from scratch.

the first couple of passes all they will have to go on as the onpage stuff -- meaning embedded links will have some benefit, like the old days. but as they pass over the whole lot again and again they can start factoring in which sites are getting all the external links. meaning embedded links will eventually fall in value.
