From my personal experience I can say that adding links to authority sites gives you a small boost in the serp's (I guess many of you know this) - and this is what they may be trying to do.

Thanks for adding it to your blog! It makes a bit more sense to me now I guess. It became pretty clear to me that centralized blacklists are becoming a dead end pretty soon. I never liked them anyway because they tend to falsely block comments if wrongly configured and at the same time they let a significant proportion of linkspam pass through. As for the last paragraph: I don't think there's much benefit in getting a blogger (me, or anyone else) 'penalized' by google. Most bloggers don't have such high pageranks anyway and more important: most bloggers don't even care for pagerank because we tend to publish on many different subjects anyway which aren't closely related like material on for example a baby clothing merchant website. A blogger gets most of his traffic from other blogs linking to him and from tag index sites such as Technorati. Visitors arriving through Google are of very little importance because they tend to arrive randomly and land on your blog mostly by accident while looking for something. Because of this I don't think search engine optimization really matters all that much to bloggers. Link-count on Technorati or similar sites is much more important. Interesting analysis.
