Can we PLEASE have an official change to how the dp ads are sent out. Occassionally, one of my sites displays co-op ads for the other site and it sets off the Google one site issue - only one of my sites shows up for search terms, rather than both sites, because they have too much interlinking between them - solely because of the co-op ads. The issue is that instead of showing up first on Google for a website, I show up heaps lower for the other website, since that is not properly optimised for the term, but Google has treated them as 'one site' therefore only shown one of them. I have taken virtually all the normal links off between the sites, or made them rel=nofollow, but I officially have no control over the co-op ads. I have not yet, but I need to do a search replace on the dp links to remove all links to my own websites, since the co-op links remove my sites from Google, or I could add rel=nofollow on the links. We NEED, a solution similar to Google adsense, where you can list a certain number of links that you do not want shown on your website. Meantime, can I have permission to so a search replace for my ads to add rel=nofollow, so your fab system stops harming me.
I wouldn't agree to that. The whole meaning of the coop is for us to get new backlinks. If you don't like it, just take them off.
Thanks Shawn, much appreciated. Absolutely only for my own sites. The co-op is far to great a concept to play around with. In fact, with the change, instead of dishing out ads to my sites, I am dishing out ads to others websites, so its pretty positive for the co-op from my standpoint.
Hey Shawn, please PM the hack to me as well. I have three sites running and don't want them interlinking outside of one static link I have from the home page. Thanks. Cheers
Geeze.. with all of these requests, you might as well post it here Shawn (aka I want it too ) I think thats a good idea.. have a list where you can specify what sites you dont want showing up in your ads. Because there are a few links that show up on my site that are agsint the religious convictions of myself and my visitors, and I dunno, Id feel better not linking to them. Josh
Why not just make it in the next update, that your own ads wont show on your own sites. Should be simple.
It would be against the TOS (although I have not officially put it in there yet) to filter ads that are not your own. Because of the weighting issues involved. There will be some functionality to do it at some point through the normal interface.
I would love to be able to filter my own site as well; so if you can; please send to me too, I'm only linking to one of my sites.
Can I get that too? I'm about to have about 50 sites in the network. I didn't know that would be a problem, though...
