And it will also raise allmusic.com's ranking in Google if they allow
this. (Sites care about this, right? I mean there can't be such a
thing as too *many* hits??)

Don't worry about it however. There's a kind of Darwinian evolution
going on amongst web sites. allmusic.com sounds like it's on the same
evolutionary branch as the trilobite, and we won't need to worry about
them for much longer.
