Think of the possibilities that opens up for some enterprising site owners! Jim

I don't think they'll ever put out what you want from Google because of the same way webmasters use Alexa now. They want people to link naturally and to build their sites for people not based on some webmaster toolbar data. Yeah, I can't take anybody too seriously anytime they bring up their Alexa numbers.
