Index doorway trick (or some magic :)

[MadMax]

for what it's worth, the assfuck who owns thepantyhose.ws is blacklisted by me as well as all his other domains. This is just the latest on him. Do a board search and you'll come up with a thread or two in "cheaters"

it isn't a trick, it has been posted here numerous times to put recips on .htm and .html because every list is starting to demand that they are on an index page... if there are both index.htm and index.html files in the same directory .html is the default and that is what google caches

Just curious, how does someone submit to multiple LL's then? Duplicate the page and put it in a new folder? I don't do freesites anymore, but was curious about the process

I think the best way is the example given in the post which started the thread:

domain.com/site1/d1/index.html,main.html, gallery.html ,gallery2.html
domain.com/site1/d2/index.html,main.html, gallery.html ,gallery2.html
domain.com/site1/d3/index.html,main.html, gallery.html ,gallery2.html

You would have one set of images in the site's main directory, referred to as 'site1' above. Then you'd make copies of the html pages, put them in subdirectories, and link to the images in the main directory. Some people copy only the index page and put it in a subdirectory, then link it back to a single main page, but jumping directories can get you rejected at some lists. There are, of course link lists that you'll want to put on the sites true index because of the value of their traffic, or it's abundance.

Ah, I see. So why wouldn't you submit to the top 12 lists only? If you submit to say 120 linklists, putting 12 LL's Recips per page, you're creating 10 duplicate pages and would probably end up getting hosed in the SE's for the duplicate page penalty?

I've noticed this with my tgp gallery pages, I used to SEO all the pages and use text sales pitch. They do get indexed in google, but I get killed because of the the fact there's x number of duplicate pages created.

Sure reducing the LL's to the top 12 would cut down on the initial burst of traffic, but wouldn't it help you in the long run in SE traffic if you did that?

I agree, Mr. Blue. That's one of the reasons that I only submit to the amount of link lists that I can fit on a single index. The other reason is laziness. At the same time, I wouldn't suggest my business plan to anyone, unless I didn't like them.

That makes complete sense. I guess if you really wanted to you could make the duplicate pages "no index" in the meta tags, but that would be kinda sleazy and unfair. So, less is more in the long run.

I did that recently and got turned down at several big lists and I have decided to go back to having multiple directories. As a free site builder I want to standardize my work and make my templates easy to use and not have to change them all the time. It's easier just to put everything in a directory and duplicate it as UW shows.
