    What am I supposed to be stewing about, exactly?

    Honestly. I think you need your head examined.

    It raises more questions than it answers, is that because SKA is an anagram of ASK?

    Correct.

    Indeed it's very hard, but recent SKA developments will allow to make our index much more up to date.

    Not entirely correct - typically the most interesting keywords to optimise for would have well established sites with lots of backlinks, the reason they rank so well is because they have solid backlinks from relevant sites: some urls get on top because they are popular at the time, and usually they go down as quickly.

    Backlinks and anchor text analysis is the key to Google's relevancy - this is the reason SKA took step back because if search engine isn't as relevant (and up to date) as Google then it has no chance of beating them.

    Like Yahoo offering free 1000 backlinks?

    Yes, that will do wonders for their clients who spend millions on AdWords and will instead get this free data and rank for free

    Google, of course, already have this information, but have so far refused to offer backlink analysis as a service (they offer a very small sample of backlinks only).

    There are already others offering this service (for free), but I think if someone popped up trying to nakedly exploit it, Google would offer it gratis.

    And for that reason, ...I'm out.
