It would change the dynamic of needing to to do as much to rank as well...that would be a good thing. I would love to look at Google's logs and/or heat maps to know how users handle the info and where they actually do click. I could imaging that it be better to be 10 than to be 7 or 6...but who knows if this is coming or they are just testing. Mike Hi Miriam-
