That's a nice link.

Nothing radically new, mostly just confirmations of what we already have surmised. But a good read nonetheless.

His "sandbox" comments were interesting - basically saying the sandbox (not my favorite term, I side with those who call it the doghouse) doesn't exist, but that a devalueation is placed on new sites with non-authoritative links. Essentially the sandbox is about the value of incoming links, not a penalty for new domains - supposedly...

Anybody else see something new there that I might have missed?
