> JFC, people, stop linking to his site. Links are currency

Hear, hear! This applies to just about everything people get outraged about these days: making people outraged on the internet is a business model that works. If you don't like that, ignore the things that outrage you instead of taking the bait.

I like what Brian Krebs does. He doesn't link to any sites, he shows screenshots and says "this was posted by user paulgb on news[dot]ycombinator[dot]com."

You don't think Google can make that connection? Local SEO (Google Maps) is already based on citations and not links.

I'm going to go ahead and assume there's a difference in Google's PageRank between talking about a site and linking to that site.
