After 2+ days of trying I finally figured out how to get the co-op ads working on my site, and to do so I had to rename every file. Then, to get it to validate I had to 86 my entire Google indexing (so the validator wouldn't keep looking for files that are no longer there). Now, I've got the ads and I'm validated... but my weight is 0 since I have no pages indexed at Google!! My site is just launched and I really didn't lose that much ground, but I just wanted to mention what I'm willing to do to be part of the network. It may take weeks before Google re-indexes my site so until then I'm losing traffic and I'm displaying 2x co-op ads per page on 40 or so pages, with not a single of my ads showing. Am I a team player or what? PS - if you have any neat tricks for speeding up my Googling, I'm all ears!!
Would you care to elaborate? Do you mean that just having backlinks helps, or that I should submit my backlink URLs to Google, or what?
Just having backlinks helps. You don't need to bother to submit your site to google, because if you have backlinks (especially from DP forum, so put a link in your sig ) google will find you all on it's own.
