However, I am also glad that there are some AWESOME tools that we can use to get our stuff out there.  In the end though, it is all about content, content, content.<br><br>Isn't it always.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Kami Huyse | <a href=\"http://overtonecomm.blogspot.com/\" title=\"http://overtonecomm.blogspot.com/\">Homepage</a> | 01.06.06 - 6:07 pm | <a href=\"#12313\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"12352\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=3d3dce16f89e761a04c37db6e2649b14&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />This is great.

Since measurement is a comparative science and you don't realy know what the numbers mean unless you benchmark against something else, shouldn't there by  be some kind of a compilation or industry average for PR blogs? Your thoughts? FYI, I have 22 links to mine, Shel Holtz takes the top honors with 304 and Andy Lark has 107.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Katie Delahaye Paine | <a href=\"http://kdpaine.blogs.com\" title=\"http://kdpaine.blogs.com\">Homepage</a> | 01.09.06 - 3:04 pm | <a href=\"#13043\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"13062\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=e13dc1d4e75b9bacc793a147465b9e91&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />I don't know where to get them.
