Thanks, Erik! This is very helpful. What do you mean by 'back testing'?
Also, even without boost links, there seems to be a bias towards popular
(long pages). it seems that a focus on # of words in common rather than %
is one of the things leading to long articles seeing so much more traction
- would this be an easy thing to test as well?
