I can't 'lead' - got too many distractions at the moment - not even sure that it needs a 'leader' - just a bit of common sense from us all.

Just someone to pull it together really. 

I know i am the same, I need to focus on getting done my current goal list.  To take on anything would mean something else slips.

Well, out of the desire to get to this rolling I put something together. At this point specific keys and clinical methods with controls, etc. may not be the focus. It's probably more about what Colin said: "'an edge', a probability that certain techniques work better than others, and a probability, say, that mass spamming directories has very little effect." Though if someone wanted to run a specific test (or several) and dole out the tasks, that should work too.

If you want to actively participate (shared specific data, urls, etc. should be a two-way street), send pm. If you don't have time to participate, don't sweat it, you won't be missing out on anything as we plan to share general findings in the IC.

I'm not sure how much I can add to this, but I'm happy to donate some time or a domain etc.

hey, just saw this...

I got one for you... remember that site about wheelies? Panda liked that one, and it has a very pure history. I think it would make for a good case study since it's a WP site and the idea is viable and scalable.
