The SEO experts are still figuring out what exactly is happening and what the implications are, but it appears that Google is adjusting it's algorithm in favor of fresh content at the expense of longer tenured static pages with large amount of incoming links.
Hopefully this change will be beneficial to the AR community.
Here are some links for a more detailed analysis of the situation:
Warning this is a very geeky centric post, and was written way past my bedtime. This means that this post is not only not relevant, but also likely won't make any sense when I reread it tomorrow morning.
Google just launched a social bookmarking tool called Shared Stuff. Using Shared Stuff could not be simpler and just involves dragging the "email/share" button into your browsers bookmark toolbar. From start to finish it took me like 5 seconds.
I already share my favorite (non AR) blog posts from my google reader (rss feed here, or view it as a blog here), but this new service takes it a step further and allows users to share most things that appears on a webpage. This is big, at least to me. But probably not to a lot of other people I guess.
Here is a link to my new shared items page: http://www.google.com/s2/sharing/stuff?user=113893706697174019418
Nothing really is on it yet, but expect good things to follow.
