I've just signed onto the coop network, and tested two forums I run.
What I'm really curious about is the "weight" value - on 1 forum running 3 ads it's a couple of thousand, but on another with higher PR and 5 ads (but fewer pages) I have a 97. The latter suggests a very poor rating.
My concern is simply that I'm offering maximum ads for other people, yet the benefits may not be very reciprocal. That's not meant to sound like a criticism, as much as an honest enquiry.
As a possible additional point, is it possible that a robots.txt file might complicate matters? I have most duplicate content blocked from the spiders. Might that affect weight at all with the coop network?
Simply curious.
