Wordpress.org. PageRank 9 and not much more than 20 /significant/ pages.
Good sites with many references present themselves gracefully.

I fully agree. Does that justify adding organic content to all pages on the
Net? What will cyberspace benefit from the most? I am having mixed feelings
about this, but what if 80 millions domains or so (including parked ones)
contained appended pages whose volume was 1000% of the master content?
That's the same type of sites that Charly referred to as "a lot of spammy
sites" a few hours ago. Spam is evil. Greed drives spam. Greed is evil.

That's great news for him and for you. I hope that not all of his
competitors follow suit though (see arguments above).

Using statistics as a tool for high self-portrait while neglecting the very
important 'details', which are the nature by which you scrape the sites.
You should become a prefessor. Publish some papers. Here is a place for you
to start:

...but how do you perceive your /contribution/ to the Web? Please tell me,
