The links are working fine for me, which ones are you referring to?
True, but search engine results are more focused now than they used to be because of better search mechanisms. I hated back in the day when searching Yahoo and getting results from some site that had NOTHING to do with what I searched for. Google is much better. No one uses Yahoo anymore to search and this is why. But I am sure that part of your statement is tru also, there may be a slow down in the web.

Whereas you used to get a pretty weird mix of stuff, then we started getting things that were pretty close to what the search was intended to find, and NOW 80 or 90 percent of the first page results of anything I search on are commercial sites selling something. I'm not sure how much of that is due to the fact that there are more retail sites, and how much is due to the indie sites losing out in the rankings.
