Friends, Romans, countrymen, followers, page views, in-bound links, share of voice, unique visitors and subscribers. These are just some of the more common ways serious content creators (and those who hope to reach them) measure online influence. However there are big flaws in all of these metrics.

: I semi disagree. Using blogs as an example, I know several well known and highly influential beauty and fashion blogs who previously held a page rank of 6. When Google last did it's major shake up a few months ago and stated that affiliate links needed to have a "no follow" tag in the code, these blogs suddenly became a 3. They had been using affiliate links in their posts without no follow tags. To any advertiser, marketer or PR person coming upon these blogs for the first time after the Page Rank striping, a 3 is mediocre and it would be assumed that they may not have much of an influence in the blogosphere--and they would be mistaken. Of course, you also have those bloggers who have been around a while that may be jumping off of the Blogger.com bandwagon and establishing their own domains. Automatically they start from scratch with page rank even if their traffic came with them.
However, I do agree that it is something that takes time to build and is earned and I do think page rank is part of a well rounded look at the quality of a site.
What do you think of the splogs out there that have gained page rank despite being entirely stolen content?

: Getting back to the article at hand, ahem. It makes the valid point, which apparently we have to keep making over and over, that Palin lies extemporaneously, and effortlessly, about just about anything.
