Weight Question

    What's a good amount of weight? I went from 20,500 to 40,500 running two text links in my forum and presumably I could get 80,000 if I ran four text links? If I spread it around the rest of my site as well as others running php I don't think 120k or even 200k would be out of the question. Could I rank in the top 10 for "christmas gifts" ?

    Depends on your PR. I think there is a max weight dependent on the PR of your homepage.

    Christmas gifts is a rough term. Most anything with gifts in it is going to be hard to rank for, but anything is possible.

    Is this whole thing for weight based on a sites PR or on how many times and places the ads are shown?
    I just placed them on my site that google doesn't index (because I bought it after it expired from someone else and even though i worte G an email... it still doesn't spider it) and I am curious if that will work. I get thousands of hits a month from yahoo and MSN... so those ads will be shown, but just not on google... am I out of the "weight" loop now? :confused:

    Yeah... your site would need to be in the Google index to have any real value to you.

    In reference to the original post, are increases in weight linear? For example, if I double my pages does that necessarrily result in a doubling of weight?

    Just curious because it seems like at some point (say over 20,000 pages), the increase in pages would not be as valuable to the network as when a site is smaller.

    so should I take them off the non indexable site then and just ad them to other sites I have...Is it better to have them on a lower pr site that would get more ad impressions or a site/page with higher pr but less impressions?

    Impressions have nothing to do with it (they aren't even tracked).

    doh! I thought weight had everything to do with impressions. How about the number of pages? For instance, I think I have 20k pages in my forums that are indexed in Google. Does that matter? Or just the pr of the top page?

    It's mostly about number of pages you run ads on.

    How does it know? For instance, in the configuration I put in the top page of my forum, as users visit all the threads does it pick up on the other pages?

    It checks to see how many pages Google knows about within your domain, then randomly spot checks some of them.
