Seriously, before everyone tries to kill me for suggesting this... I feel like I need to pay or donate to someone for using this network. I have already done my investigation into how well it works for many who use it over the past several weeks. I just signed up today, and think this is going to save me so much money in Adwords/Overture/link buying that I am embarassed. Give me someone to paypal some money to so I don't feel like I'm getting something for nothing... Thanks
You can help by donating a dollar amount to digital point to help pay for the servers that run the actual network. You even get a backlink for your troubles. There is a page set up somewhere around, I am sure someone will post a link. I tell ya, Digital Point is a WIN WIN situation!!!! All around! KG
I appreciate your enthusiasm and agree in part but don't forget that you shouldn't stop doing everything else too. Good SEO is about diversity so its important to keep working on both your on site and off site factors, as well as advertising WHILE the Coop Network does its work.
No it doesn't. The link to the donate page are just within the tools section of the site. You don't *have* to, but this is the direct link if you *want* to. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/donate.html
Thanks for the info. I will most definately be making a donation. I am going to wait about a week and get a feel for how many links are being indexed, then make an estimate of what a month of buying that many links would cost and donate accordingly. I figure, pay for one month, get a lifetime free. Honestly, this is a tremendous service, a great idea, and it will be copied 100 times in the next 6 months. It is too generous to be offering this as a free service. I understand that your other tools may be free, but there is real monetary value in this particular tool. Do yourselves a favor... GET PAID FOR THIS! Thank you again. I just spent the day getting the ASP version working and at the strike of midnight... IT WORKS! Thanks Again.
Good SEO/SEM is holistic in as much as it focuses on the whole, not any one part. People who simply rely on one element will be chasing the new element when the next algo change affecting their chosen element kicks in. By ensuring you apply all aspects of SEO to your site, you are future proofing it for all known eventualities, and as such, even a major algo change like Florida, will not kill you off completely.
