Copy of Coop?

Yes, Fira that is what I meant - sites that would normally not be approved by family-friendly sites.

 

Not sure about everyone else, but I'd be a little reserved in joining a small network. The fewer sites there are signed up, the more conspicuous the linking patterns are to engines. Even the link farms of search king had a few hundred sites, I think.

Personally, I'll wait to join a startup network.

 

The DP Coop started off small...

 

How many are in DP coop now?

 

I think It's over the 2000 mark now, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

 

Be interested to hear numbers of signups who are validated.....

 

great let there be choice....
copy or no copy who cares small or big whats the difference

the original helped to educate countless webservants of what is possible, archivable and what is actually under the hood of their ISP/hosting.

So with choice comming on stream we the actual users are back in the driving seat.

Each of these clones will atract a different slant of sites may have different rules etc. So now we have a choice of how many of each we show.

Not to forget for the very carefull (or cash strapped) that happen to have multiple sites on one server / IP there are now multiple coops to use.

PS Well done ... best of luck

 

What is the URL?

 

Linkor

Szy.

 

Anyone know what the net effect would be if established coop's linked to each other. Would it sort of become one gigantic coop ?.
Considering the effect the Digitalpoint coop is already having I imagine the effect could be huge.

well they can actually not link to each other, the same sites could be in each but slightly different algos would statistically always mix different.

Decission is how many (external) links does one want to have per page.
It is also possible to mix the links e.g. ad1 from A ad2 B ad3 C Ad4 from A etc.

What maybe interesting and would drive this forward would be if roughly "themed" networks would apear along the lines of top DMOZ cats.

Although I agree presently a link is a link there maybe some milage in having roughly categoriesed sites dynamically linking to each other.

Interesting to hear you say that xpat.

That's actually very close to what I'm planning over here. People will build collections or 'Cells' of categories/themes, then apply them to a site, thereby filtering out unwanteds.

I also agree about the number of ads a WM wants on their site. As more networks emerge, there's more choice in features and distribution.

But I anticipate downsides to participating in several at once:

A. Confidence. You have to be certain you're getting what's promised.
B. Calls. How many different adservers will you have to connect to, just to render a page ?
C. How do you keep management painless ?

In general, I think the only way to move forward is to complement what's already available. Give people more choice, keep the management intuitive and familliar, and let them see how many sites are in the network, or allowing ads of certain kinds etc

Shame I can't read Polish

 

To be fair.. it's a rip off. I mean even if he only did it for convenience - But hey - your code's tight.

Think of it as a compliment !

I personally don't care if my code's ripped, but hey, you did a good job

It was bound to happen

 

Nothing new, the revenue share program and the promotion of it across the net for forums was ripped off also.

That does not mean anyone else was successful with it.

 

Shawn, is the revenue share code available from you? Freeware or otherwise? I gotta admit, it's a neat idea.

 

Yeah, it's called the internet
