Hello, I just put up ads on my site - working good. Have a question as for the weight. Seams like weight increases if you increase the amount of ads that appear on the page. Does the amount of pages play role in the weight value? Today Google shows only 2500 pages indexed for my site, so first I hooked up 600 pages and my weight was around 45.2K then I hooked up another 1900 pages and it went up +300... kinda strange.. I was expecting it to go up at least twice. I guess I'm missing the concept here, would you please explain me how it works? And can I also advertise internal pages of the websites and not only index page? Thanks.
See my thread on "How the Digitalpoint co-op weight works" The co-op works based on the Google API key access into Google. Therefore, at any one time, it will be querying different datacenters from what is necessarily publically showing on a standard Google query. When a site is first getting found by Google there is bound to be different numbers showing, however, it generally settles down. You can advertise any page of any site, so long as you have acceptable ads - ie not political, drugs, sex ... see the faq's when you log in to the co-op
ok, I'm confused now. My web site is based on two different systems and in order to run ads throughout the site I inserted the code into both footers. The first system is a community with content and a forum is in the root. The second in a directory. If I insert domain name in my profile it gives me 45.2K waight. If I insert www.domain.com/subfolder/ where the second system based - it gives me 34.5K weight for that one... how do I combine all of that? Do I need to open another account just to have my both sections of the site weighted and be credited? Please let me know.
Actually, you are only allowed one account per domain - subdomains would need another account. To get full credit you would need just need one account in your case just www.yoursite.com. And put ads on all pages using the two footers in your case. It does not follow that you would get 45.2k+34.5k. It doesn't work like that. Weight is not linear and there are caps based on your PR, number of indexed pages, etc.
Thank you for your replies guys. But, still I fill like there is something missing, like the system doesn't read through all the pages that google indexed. In first case google has 600 pages indexed and weight is being assigned as 45K, in second case where the pages in subfolder - google has 1900 pages indexed. Both main pages as for the root and the subfolder index pages have PR4. If system allows me to avoid placing ads on one of those parts and assigning them different weights, why they shouldn't be credited if I place ads on both parts?
What's the url of your site? The coop uses the google api which is the official figure used for indexed pages. Also, it does your example does not make sense. How can your root domain has less indexed pages than in a subdirectory? The coop takes into account all of your indexed pages when you type in the root domain.
the url is www.ibsteam.net www.ibstea.net/wsnlinks as for the amount of indexed pages I did site:www.ibsteam.net -inurl:wsnlinks I understand what you mean by "it doesn't make sense" I just didnt frase it correctly. Putting in the profile: www.ibsteam.net - gives me 45K weight www.ibsteam.net/wsnlinks - 34K If I put ads on www.ibsteam.net without including /wsnlinks - weigh is 45.2K; If I put ads also on /wsnlinks - 45.5K - the difference is only 300 So, I just weighted www.ibsteam.net/wsnlinks to see how much weight it gets by itself and it comes up to 34K, so the question is how come it is so different? What's the point of showing the ads on another 1900 page (/wsnlinks) if it adds only 300 weight to the 45.2K? It makes more sense creating another account where www.ibsteam.net/wsnlinks will have weight 34K. I'm not trying to be nasty, just want to figure it out for myslef - this is very new to me. Also, I read this post "How the Digitalpoint co-op weight works" by t2dman and he says there: He referres to vbulletin boards, but this is the same reason of having different account that I'm talking about. Do I make sense now? Hope I do - english is my thirld langualge and sometimes it gets too tricky
