I liked the content inside your sub-topic "Where is the juice - Noscript tag or Authority domain?" and "False authority too easily attained". I agree with your posting that the tactic used by every person is the same and can be closed at any time as you rightly said. Great post about the SERP and juice.

Why an article written in 5 minutes by an editor on an authoritive site ranks better than a webpage completely dedicated to a topic is beyond me I completely agree.

Almost every website owner wants to rank for something, what better advert than that? If I had a pound note for everytime I saw a working tactic only to think hmmn, nice idea but they'll squah down on that in a week or so, only then to see, a year or so later it still working, I'd have considerably more money in my pocket than I do today! I'm amazed this stuff still works. Astounded even. Maybe its all just a rusical honeypot ;) Absolutely, from a user POV there is a right way and a wrong way; yet all things like this do is encourage others to do the same.

It is hard to give someone a penalty for conforming with European accessibility recommendations ;) I am pretty sure in the webmaster guidelines I have read that javascript should use noscript, just link images should have alt tags.
