		<description>Hello Jim,

I think this is more about co-citation than related text. Because if all the sites that link both to your blog and seo-fusion did not have a link to your blog but barely the KW phrase, that would not boost the rank. So this does not prove "related links"-theory as I see it, just that both Google and Yahoo use cocitation to rank sites, which has been known for long.</description>
