I have the co-op code on a number of sites, they do validate, I do have plenty of links into my sites, they get tens of thousands of hits but still no weight. Here are a few of my sites: http://www.aspiringgeek.com/sox/ http://www.icons4aim.com http://www.aspiringgeek.com/hipaa It's been a few weeks, I should see some weight, right?
The second only has ads on the front page? The third has no pagerank? Read the FAQ that Tops30 and SEObasic (I think) made. Weight matters by some variables. Validating is not enough for weight, you also need indexed pages in Google, it gets more with a pagerank, and I think there are more variables. You should have at least a little weight though?
I reviewed the faq's and still don't see any reason why I wouldn't be getting weight. I also should mention that when I check the stats graph, they are blank for all of my ads. Regarding Dirkjan's comments: Yes, on one site the coop is only on the front page. According to the FAQ's that's OK but would cost me weight if I was getting any. Yes, some page's are new and have no rank but plenty of other pages have rank of PR 4-6. For performance issues, I am caching my pages every 12 hours but since it's text ads I assume it should be fine. Do my links look fine otherwise?
I just recently turned my caching back on two days ago so I should have some weight from before then. I'll turn it back off and see how it goes but I still suspect something else. How soon should I see weight if everything is good on my end? Thanks.
