That's exactly what http://www.KeyFess.com has done. An online confession site that offers its visitors a ad free anonymous site where they can post, read & vote on confessions, rants and secrets. After only two months this site receives almost 10k new visitors a day and has reached addictive levels. I must "keyfess", it is refreshing to frequent a site that strictly wants to entertain its visitors and asks for nothing in return. All this while it has a zero page rank? Well, it is only 2 months old, it will be interesting to see where it is on its anniversary! Can a site acheive viral marketing when it doesn’t sell or advertsing anything?

But, stats can measure how much time a person is on a page of a site and I believe it's kind of the same. If you are on the search results page and leave, then come back (via the back button) in only a few seconds engines can probably tell. Maybe though cookies or javascript or what I'm not exactly sure.

The idea is that if 2 or 3 people click though, then back to the search results, that's normal. But if 3000 people a day do it, all at different IPs and different locations and different browser, then that might put up a red flag. If one spammer does it 3000 times a day, there is probably a way of detecting that as to not abuse the system. Daniel – I think it was said by Jennifer Laycock at Search Engine Guide.

On "click backs", did you know who mentioned this and what evidence is there of this? "Click Backs" has been talked about often as a possible future metric, but it was thought impractical in terms of actual use (too easy to abuse). Just wondering if that abuse issue has been solved. Thanks, Daniel Thomas,
