Re: Free One Way Links
Neal they already the tools in place to handle all of the issues you have presented and have began using them to some degree.
Search Engines can determine the length of time spent on a site, the number of pages viewed the entry and exit pages as well as the referrer and the date of the last changes to the pages.
A better utilization of this information in an algorithm with a higher priority than linking would render better searches IMHO. Especially in our industry.
Visitors will not stay on sites with old information. More and better photos would keep potential buyers looking on your site. And returning.
This information lets the Search Engines know what visitors think of your site and should count MUCH higher in an algorithm than how may back links a site owner can accumulate.
Better rankings using this system would promote more time spent on developing good content and less time searching for links IMHO.
Just my 2¢ worth,
