    i liked this part of your post:
    Cant agree more. Content was the king, is the king and will be king may what come. Everything else will change over time. Google has finally given CREDIT to honest webmasters who work their a$$ out to create content.

    Am sure MFA's would be damn pissed off.

    by the way, whats with? :D:D

    OK....What would be better for Google to be synonymous with pop culture related themes...But pop culture synonymous terms have nothing to do with humans huh...LOL

    This all sounds like the patents I was reading about last year:

    Phrase-based indexing in an information retrieval system 1/26/06
    Phrase-based generation of document descriptions 1/26/06
    Phrase-based identification in an information retrieval system 1/26/06
    Phrase-based searching in an information retrieval system 2/9/06
    Detecting spam documents in a phrase-based information retrieval system 12/28/06
    (just happened to have these notes around)

    It's just one factor in their ranking algos.

    I totally disagree that G is going to focus exclusively on on-page factors just because backlinks can be manipulated. What's easier to manipulate than your own content? Plus, there's the whole Trustrank algorithm to try and determine which sites can be trusted in 'voting' for other sites with their links. It's not that easy to manipulate backlinks. You have to have a good site to get good sites to link to you. If G went back to only on-page factors that would be an unlikely regression IMO.

    When was this patent filed and what is it's name or link? If it's new, I'd like to know how it differs from their older phrase-based patents.

    will be interesting to see howthis works in practice, but it just goes to show that the better the content on a page and the internal linking within pages of a website, the more highly google rates it

    When you talk about this Phrase Rank, what do you mean when you say phrase? Are you just saying that content and keywords and phrases in that content will be weighed more heavily in a future algorithm?
