Index doorway trick (or some magic :)

[Linkster]

Here's my opinion if ya want it
Bill and Sean are both correct - it doesnt make a fuck how you do the mirrors - if Google was really looking that closely it would be a big deal - but they arent. Second, I have submitted free sites for years where I use the index.htm and the index.html in the same folder - sometimes the .htm version gets a good listing a year later sometimes its the root and sometimes its the warning.htm - but even more important and this seems to be lost these days among free site submitters - the site you want to get into Google and other SEs is a completely different page than what the LLs will allow - you would want to get something into the SEs thats a little more aggressive in my opinion.

I guess what it boils down to is that most people are putting way too much weight on worrying about SEs and how they react to little 4 page free sites built in a half an hour - thats really not the purpose - the free sites are for LLs. More important - if a LL wont accept sites without their recip being on an index.html page - Id start submitting somewhere else as they really dont understand SEs and that might hurt you in the long run.

Another guy played with sortlinks.com
http://www.free-nudrelds-links.com/f...lon/index.html (default, cached, no recip)
http://www.free-nudrelds-links.com/f...ylon/index.htm (doorway recip but not cached)
do you know him?
here is his msg after my request:
"Hi!
I have two pages such as index.htm and index.html with different
recips. Why the google shows other page, I don't know. I have usual
free site and scriptless hosting. Write me, if you don't want to work with me, and my software remove all your recips. Did you check my other sites?"

guys, any comments?

Seems to me like an intentional way to cheat. Dont waste your time with it, band him and move on, there are plenty of genuine submitters out there.

I have posted a couple of times now and killed all threads I have posed the question - mirrored directories - ok so the index is changed with recips etc. but theres still at least another 3 pages in that folder that are being duplicated exactly many times over if for example you sub to 200 LLs.

What is the reasoning that all html must be in the same folder? Why can the mirrored directories not contain only the index.html and link to the original mainpage? On a freesite no-one links back to the warning page from the main or gallery pages, so I can't work out what the benefits or reasoning that all html must be in the same folder and cant just jump from

/freesite/foldera/index.html
/freesite/folderb/index.html
/freesite/folderc/index.html
/freesite/folderd/index.html
back to

/freesite/mainpage.html

If it's because of something to with more content in the same folder, then wouldn't google penalise for the dupe pages in those folders and thus penalise the folder itself, making that concept flawed? What am I not seeing or just plain ignorant on

Anyone able to enlighten me before I go nuts lol ?

Jel, a bunch of doorways that lead to a single inside site would almost certainly (1) piss google off, and (2) lead to little or no return traffic to the link sites giving you the links.

It is normal that only the root doorway will be listed, not the other doorways. So the guys on the other doorways get, well, weak soup.

If you guys think google is fooled by having the same site in different folders with indexes, you are nuts.

Fuck all you little linklist owners with your wacky rules and your ego trips.

Next month you'll want a blowjob with your submission, for your crappy hit a day.

[Useless]

I think I'm getting to be known as pretty damned anal as far as reviewing and declining for minor shit goes, but I pay very, very little attention to directory structure and page naming schemes. I don't see the big deal here. I review for the surfer first. If the surfer is happy, the list will grow.

I agree.

I dont think index.htm/index.html is a big deal at all. I mean what's with all u Link List owners who think being on a mirror page is so terrible? You really expect these submitters to put you on an index if you're sending minimal traffic? When I used to submit freesites I would do it like this:

freesite/index.html
freesite/index.htm
freesite/warning.html
freesite/warning.htm
freesite/enter.html
freesite/enter.htm

freeesite/main-page.html

freesite/gallery-1.html
freesite/gallery-2.html

there's nothing wrong with the above.

http://www.unlimitedfreegalleries.co...disclaimer.htm

They're both cached, they both received traffic and they're both giving the surfer what they want. Anybody who owns a LL that isn't hoes.com, link-o-rama.com, penisbot.com etc and always want to be on an index is dilusional IMO and people will just stop submitting to you, rather then change how freesites are made.

I think its best to do it the standard way with the html from each mirror site in its own directory.
I use advanced submitter to help make the mirrors which makes it pretty easy. It takes me about 5 extra mins to do it that way. So for 5 minutes work why cut off all that extra traffic and linkbacks from the smaller link sites.

I'm not to sure why they have the rule but its their site, I want the link backs and traffic (however small it is) so I follow their rules. That extra five mins of effort really is worth it for those extra link backs and traffic. Submitting to the smaller LLs atleast triples my total traffic compared to just submitting to the top 10.

[RawAlex]

My idea is this:

If you want to submit to 120 link sites, make 10 folders. Copy your entire site (less the images) into each folder. Now, change the return links in 9 of them, and also change the meta tags, title tags, and perhaps use a different warning text on each one. Always use different warnings with different returns (so they are not the same over and over on different domains).

ta-da. You now have 10 completely different sites without all that much effort, and they are all different, and google will likely pick up every one of them.

Think past the end of your nose.

I've found that with each mirror in its own complete directory and changing the text completely on all pages in each page of the freesite (meta tags, title, content on pages, the lot) that I still got hit hard for duplicate content. To be fair its only one site so only expect one result in SEs for it. I decided it was best to spend the time making new freesites.


I dont really know why the LL owners want wach site in thier own directory I just do it. But I would really like to find out why.

IMHO this isn't possible. If your really doing what you describe above then you no longer have duplicate pages... bottom line. Spiders only see what you give them they aren't psychic.

Let me correct this, the only remote possibility (remote) that you're getting hit for dup content would be because your not changing the alt tags. Since a freesite is mostly pics on the content side, try changing those too. Will also give you a chance to experiment with new keywords.

That is true - I dont think I did change the alt tags. Still I think its best just to spend the time making a new freesite rather than changing the text, meta tags, alt tags etc on a number of different mirrors.

Sean.... I wont argue with you..Do it if you wish..
But these LLs have rules and its easy to follow em
Upon my experience ... artwilliams is right.
Just try
site1/folder1
site1/folder2
site1/folder3
you will be surprised getting accepted much faster and more often
Dont be surprised if your cached pages will lose PR very soon as well as index. (see below)

BTW the second page does not seem to be cached for me already
Besides..Your recip "More Porn For Me!" on these pages reminds me sortlinks'...AND I dont think it is a coincidence ))

What do you say?

I'm not arguing with anyone, take it easy. I dont submit freesites anymore. I'm just offering my opinoin on things so submitters to my LL know that I dont care about this.

No, because most larger LLs don't allow you to go back in folders or switch folders. They want the entire site in one folder. The only viable option to get listed on most LLs would be to make completely different pages and just link to the images in the root freesite folder. But that would be heavy dupe content and thus not worth it to submit to smaller LLs at all. More people will just end up submitting to the biggest 15 or whatever LLs. So your rule rule, IMO, is alienating you. That's why I decided to make my post.

I made those recips in april of 2004. I hadnt even heard of SortLinks so don't flatter yourself. My new recips were made in February 2005 when I completely redesigned my site.

[Bill]

I think it's time to move to allowing more recips on a submitted free site.

I've been thinking about this for a while. Making many multiple doorways with 9 recips each hurts everyone in the long run.

I'd be willing to sacrifice the third sales link on the index page in exchange for the effectiveness of having, for example, 24 text recips on that page.

Linklists should benefit from the arrangement, because it will increase the variety of potential _new_ surfers and length of time that their recips might attract a few _new_ surfers to their list.

It should be better for gaining search engine traffic for both the linklists and the freesite builders.

I ve made em earlier...besides color scheme and <div align center> instead of just <td align=center>
made me think so.
ok. nevermind.

nevermail...words of wisdom.

Good thread!
I agree with Bill about the number of recip links, it wouldn't hurt no one if there were more recips allowed on the index page.
In my opinion it's also worth it to use different text on every index copy to decrease the chances getting a double content penalty but on the other hand not all search engines have such strict rules like google has about the dc penalty. Yahoo for example lists at least 2-3 copy pages of almost all my submitted sites,... one gets #5 and one #7 listing for example.

But I also agree with Linkster, free sites, just like picture and movie galleries (and in my opinion even picture and movieposts) should be optimized for direct selling to the linklist traffic and not put the weight of importance to seo.
It makes a lot more sense to optimize special sites like hubs, blogs, niche pages for seo and get those sites listed than trying to get some lower listings for small keywords with free sites or galleries.

[SortLinks]

Sure nevermail..thats how I did with some of mine
but Ive submitted s1/index.htm (no recips there)
