    Question..

    Lets say you have 5 sites, and each one has different anchor text that I'm shooting for.

    www.site1.com has "site 1"
    www.site2.com has "site 2"
    www.site3.com has "site 3"
    www.site4.com has "site 4"
    www.site5.com has "site 5"

    Lets say my weight is 5000.

    Would you think it would be more successful to split the weight up 1000 5 ways.. OR rotating the weight between each site each day at the max weight of 5000 for one site per day?

    Split weight would look like this all the time.
    www.site1.com has "site 1" weight 1000
    www.site2.com has "site 2" weight 1000
    www.site3.com has "site 3" weight 1000
    www.site4.com has "site 4" weight 1000
    www.site5.com has "site 5" weight 1000
    ================================
    Rotating weight would look like this..

    Day 1:
    www.site1.com has "site 1" weight 5000
    www.site2.com has "site 2" weight 0
    www.site3.com has "site 3" weight 0
    www.site4.com has "site 4" weight 0
    www.site5.com has "site 5" weight 0

    Day 2:
    www.site1.com has "site 1" weight 0
    www.site2.com has "site 2" weight 5000
    www.site3.com has "site 3" weight 0
    www.site4.com has "site 4" weight 0
    www.site5.com has "site 5" weight 0

    Day 3:
    www.site1.com has "site 1" weight 0
    www.site2.com has "site 2" weight 0
    www.site3.com has "site 3" weight 5000
    www.site4.com has "site 4" weight 0
    www.site5.com has "site 5" weight 0

    Day 4:
    www.site1.com has "site 1" weight 0
    www.site2.com has "site 2" weight 0
    www.site3.com has "site 3" weight 0
    www.site4.com has "site 4" weight 5000
    www.site5.com has "site 5" weight 0


    Day 5:
    www.site1.com has "site 1" weight 0
    www.site2.com has "site 2" weight 0
    www.site3.com has "site 3" weight 0
    www.site4.com has "site 4" weight 0
    www.site5.com has "site 5" weight 5000

    I would say that rotating would be better because you'll receive more clicks per day on one site, and if the engines out looking, you'll receive allot more links than if you did 1000, or 80% less impressions per page.

    Someone said it could take up to 72 hours for all your ads to get into rotation in the system. If so, do not know how that would effect rotation you describe.

    Well, obviously that would not help me a bit. Thanks.

    It might. This could be an old wives tale. I do not know precisely what happens if you change your ad. Just trying to give you something else to think about.

    I'd leave weight behind one thing or another for at least a week rather than change it up all the time... if only because it's a lot of stuffing around.

    You have x weight, using it one way or another isn't going to increase the value it presents but changing it up could decrease the value it presents.

    It makes no sense to keep changing it as you are essentially doing something that is automated the hard way.

    I would definately split it between the sites and I would further split it with varied anchor text until you used up your 20 slots
