Huge referral!

Wow, I just noticed a nice jump in my weight. I checked my referrals, and I got one for 5,400!!

That guy must sure have a big site...

 

whoa.. big site no kidding

I guess he has a PR4 with 5000+ pages indexed. I hit the cap with one of my sites and got a base weight of 54,000. I presume they now have 48,600 once you took some refferal weight, lol.

 

Is there really a cap? Some people say there is, some tah there isn't. I remember Shawn saying he removed the cap.

 

I still think there is, my indexed page count has went up but the weight has not.

 

THere's still a cap. Before this backlink update, I was still at it for a PR6 site: 80,999.

 

Yep, cap is still there - my PR4 page is also exactly weight 54,000. Not likely to be by chance...

 

lucky you I am still waiting on some referral weight lol..

 

I wish I was at 54,000. Anyone know the cap for a PR5 website? I have a referral that is 5400 too....

I lost a couple of good ones too though... they gave it a try for like 2 days or something and then left.

 

I think PR5 cap is approximately 67k

 

What is the best way to get referrals for the coop?

 

I don't know..... I have bombed for two ways that I tried thus far. I only received a couple of referrals. 1. was other forums.... you always have someone in there that compares it to a link farm and then nobody wants to touch it even though you are showing them high results in a short amount of time.

2. People requesting link exchanges from me. I write them back and tell them about the network. That seems to work for a couple of people however a lot of them cannot seem to get the coop running on their websites.... one of them wrote into the forum but nobody answered her.

New ways I am attempting:
- Google Adwords Campaign
- I set up a special advertising block on our website with the coop ads in it offering advertising throughout our website. We get so many link exchange requests I am hoping to convert some of them into referrals.

 

Yes, you're missing something obvious...

Read the setup instructions page and you will find out.

 

I also hit the 54,000 cap for a PR4 site. ;(

 

PR0 = 13.5k
PR1 = ??
PR2 = ??
PR3 = ??
PR4 = 54k
PR5 = 67.5k
PR6 = 80.9k (I Think)
PR7 = ??
PR8 = ??
PR9 = ??

 

PR6=80.999k

 

Would this be considered spam, if not I may utilise the method as I receive muliple requests for links everyday

 

I don't see it as spam. All that's being done is that you're responding to their spam with a better offer than what they are looking for.

 

I receive around 50-100 link exchange requests per day.
Our website is currently undergoing a redesign so I inform people that we are not posting links to our website at this time however they can sign up at digitalpoint if they would like their link to be posted throughout our website and I give them a link.

I would not consider that spam.

These people are requesting information from me. I am not sending e-mails to people that are not requesting information from me or contacting me first.
