LOR - my sites have gone

[WarBot]

Hmm... I didnt even consider that I may not get listed (or I may have my sites removed) because of no PR due to not linking back to my domains root and interlinking things better. Good tips in this thread.

I guess building an actual site on the domains root would be best. Linking to a fake tgp from my free sites may get me rejected from a few ll's. Im guessing real ll or a hub that lists a clean version of all my free sites would be probably be best.

I'm not sure that linking back (or not) the the domain's root from each free site is going affect much for the free site itself. My point was that there was nothing at all at the root of the domain in question, and that that _may_ have caused the complete lack of PR on any of his pages on that domain. It's the only correlation I can come up with. Perhaps Google assumes that anything on a domain with no root content must not be worth anything. I don't know. Either way, it's not good.

Here's a related point. For any domain which you use for free sites- if you have no other site to place at the root, you should, at the very least, have a page there that links out to all of the free sites on that domain.

And as Bill stated - never put all of your free sites on a single domain. Spread them out many. If a domain gets stolen or Google bans it, you don't want to lose it all.

Very good point UW. The first domain I owned was pr0 for a couple of years. The domain had an index page that listed the free sites on the domain and the rest of the page was pretty much a banner farm. Once I cleaned up the root index it went to pr3 on the next update and that got passed along to the free sites which varied from pr1 to pr2.

You all said some things that had me thinking. I was more or less just thinking out loud rather than replying to any particular post. Instead of going with a free site hub, a link list or a tgp Im going to go with something a bit different. I will make each root into a hub but it wont be a more free porn type hub. Maybe some custom fpa's in the niches I submit to or something like that would be better. Still just thinking out loud
