IP addresses have a value and as supply dries up or demand increases that value will go up. ARIN can make all of the proclamations they want, but when you have a limited supply of a resource, a secondary market will emerge. So while search engines drive demand, just as cheap SSL certs do, the real problem is supply. The secondary IPv4 markets may be the best catalyst for moving to IPv6. As I see it, the issue is simple.

Seems like I'm babbling - must be early. Gary -

I notice this old post on Matt Cutts blog: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/myth-busting-virtual-hosts-vs-dedicated-ip-addresses/ I know it's not an official Google Blog but if you do hear someone spreading the myth perhaps pointing to there would be a good idea. PS - Can you or someone there add a track comments plug-in? Will,
