The Google pagerank is a page's reputation. It is based more on "who" and "how" is linking into your site than "how many". A single link from a Wikipedia article is not beaten by a "link farm" of sites cross-referencing each other. This is why Wikipedia articles show up high on Google searches.

E.g., pentaxforums.com has rank 4 while photozone.de has rank 6.

Note: Google itself stopped to use or update the pagerank as it moved to more elaborate algorithms (pairwise correlations). It is kept for historic reasons only.

I stand corrected. I should have used the keyword with "site:" instead of "links:" in search engine.

By the way, I have included your blog into my Pentaxian blog on the right sidebar as I highly value your review of K-7 and that of the recent K-x. An urgent question and favor to you is that I have Pentax K20D which I love using with the exception on slower AF. Other weaknesses I can live by with no whining. I find the AF system sufficient for normal use but once I go for shooting wildlife as in birding, I find the lacking in AF much pronounced.

I plan to upgrade from K20D to both K-7 and K-x. If I get the K-x now, will it be an awkward move for me as I really like the handling of K-7. I am planning for a two stage upgrade: 1st stage is to get a white Pentax K-x and use it as a dual system with my K20D. When the right time come, I will go for the 2nd stage to get K-7 or the next version after K-7 as in something hopefully a K-8 soon. That means, I have a chance to skip K-7 altogether. Do you see that as a wrong step for me. If so, please let me know as I trust and value your assessment highly on the dynamic range and high ISO noise with K-x.

A belated thank you and a much needed help in the buying decision.

Warmest,
Hin
