Hi guys!. I'm trying to launch a site about intenet telephony and such and i'm currently in the link development phase. I've been wondering about the CO-OP for a long time now cause i get mixed signals from the threads. Basically i'd like to know: 1. If I add coop to my site as of 7-31-06, will my site be indexed or penalized by google? 2. If i'm penalized by google and wont get indexed, does the coop provide substantial traffic to outweight the losses?. I know that the more ad space i provide for the coop... the more chances i get to increase weight/traffic (pls correct me if i'm wrong here! ) 3 Has anyone experienced a serp boost from Yahoo and/or MSN by using Coop? 4. And to finalize, is it ok to run adsense with the coop code in the same page...or any other affiliate program for that matter/?....any comments or experiencess?
I'll comment on #2 and #4. If Google won't index you, that site won't get any weight. The CO-OP bases your weight off that site's (non-supplemental) pages in Google's index, and no other search engine. AdSense can be run on the same pages where CO-OP ads appear. There are no affiliate programs or networks that I'm aware of which do not allow CO-OP ads. As always, check with your individual affiliate agreements to be safe.
Well i guess the question is "Will my site get indexed properly if i add the coop to it...or penalized?" ... i know this is an advertising tool and not a serp manipulation network but ive read many threads of sites being penalized and loosing all the weigth they had acquired because of google's algo changes. I dont want to add something to my site which in turn will cause its downfall...
I guess the algo of the coop have been evolved now, it doest not base on total index page any more there are other factor now to get weight. And I guess it's not very helpful now to increase your back link and will not help you to get index, it's not as effective as before because user now can put a nofollow option so that bot will not follow those links.
adding co-op to your site isn't going to stop it from being indexed. If someone has proof of this I would like to know. I have heard others claim drops in the serps but never de-indexing or lack of getting indexed at all.
so....adding the coop would only make it harder for me to optimize my site uh?... what about the traffic... is it any good?
I was pointing about 20k to a website and got over 400 uniques per month. That's not too much, but it's a bonus if you use it for seo purposes mostly.
