Well this is certainly a deadly sin. Bidding directories. We all know about ethical practices. No fake bids. No increasing bids. I dont even think chris would do this himself....surely not. If he did make these bids then COME BID HIGHER ON THE REST OF OURS anyway, back to the matter in hand. http://www.dollarlinking.com/ is the site i'm talking about. Its PR N/A. Then i checked I thought it may be a severe QBC act. Then i thought i would look a noob here if i was wrong. So i checked archive.org http://web.archive.org/web/20070321030316/http://dollarlinking.com/ It seems it had bids being increased gradually over time. Then i saw the iwebtool logo. So it can't be QBC. Then john rang told me it got de-indexed. But why would google do that to a business? All that cash invested in it by people like chris. What the hell happened? Mike
That site was banned by google, thats why no PR, and yes chris did make those bids when it did have PR why it got banned no reason, I think because it had no content, all it did was sell links.
Hello... Why it got de-indexed is unknown to me.. I do know that it made the creation of categories as everyone started adding categories like crazy so... Its possible it was that or something that google evidently didint appreciate thx malcolm
Wow, had no idea they were de-index'ing bid directories with this structure, can anyone confirm this or show other similar sites that got de-indexed. Anyways all the more reason to submit to my new unique bidding directory, I just added six unique articles to the site and show bidding via points as opposed to $$.
ys, it still indexed. maybe the owner tried some blackhat SEO tricks? its backlinks are pretty strong.
thats what i mean... They didnt start appearing till after this happened... (the de-indexing) I remember as i we chatted thoughts about that text link ads site. thx malcolm
If it is still indexed and not showing page rank perhaps the site title or something like that was changed? I think he meant other bid directories started adding categories.
I am not sure if anyone know this site before last PR update www.seekon.com . But I remember it had high PR ( not sure how much) -- now its PR0 too
Hello... Not sure but has many pages grey inside.. But yet has many indexed pages... Results 1 - 10 of about 22,700 from www.seekon.com. not sure what to think... thx malcolm
Think --think--think. There is a similiarity with the site we are talking If I remember correctly it was a PR8 site ( I listed it there --but again NOT SURE- I might be wrong.) The site has been online since Oct. 1999 http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.seekon.com/
