    So…

    In the past few weeks..

    I have all my Meta tags set up, my robot.txt, my sitemap hmtl and xml put on Google Webmaster tools…

    I’ve added my URL to Google, Yahoo, MSN, and several other THOUSAND (!) search engines (for free)…

    What next!!!??

    I don’t think I’m even on anything yet, so it’s just a waiting game!?

    Thanks for all your help :tongue::wink-wink

    The best advice I can give is set about adding unique quality content to your site as often as possible and make it user friendly, try not to concentrate to much on the search engines as it’s the visitors which will being the money in.
    Try and get some quality link exchanges going on within similar sites, don’t worry about getting your PR up. PR is just an indicator of your incoming links and isn’t something you should be overly concerned with.

    Build links slowly or google will penalize your site without giving you any reason.

    and you will surffer sandbox on google.

    Of course there’s a sandbox, that is why it takes so long before new sites get ihigh up in the serps, especially for competitive keywords. In my experience age is becoming a bigger and bigger factor for Google, this is why you sometimes see really crappy unoptimised sites at the top for certain search terms, this can be really frustrating if you are adding loads of new content but over time it will correct itself.
    Links are important but you need to get good quality links not loads of crappy links form link directories etc, good unique content is becoming more and more important as well and that is a good thing imo, as it rewards those who genuinly work hard on their sites.

    if a new site emerges and on day 5, 50 high PR authority sites like the beeb, cnn etc link to it, I assure you it will not be sandboxed.

    there is no sandbox in my experience. I have launched over 50 sites, and not 1 has been “sandboxed”.

    If you have crappy links from crappy sites then you won’t do well for ages until your trust is built up with organic and “wholesome” links imo.

    age old debate tho isn’t it.

    Ok but with my site http://www.high-rollercasinos.com I started it and linked to it immediataley with frontpage links from 4 highly relevant sites with PR ranging from 3-5 but it is only now nearly 5 months later that it is starting to get anywhere in the serps depsite a fair few other good links being added and lots of content etc. It wasn’t really sandboxed but certainly was being beaten by a lot of crappy sites with bugger all content etc. One thing I may have done wrong though is that I had the entire site on a flat structure, i.e all the pages were directly under http://www.high-rollercasinos.com. this has now been changed and I’ve noticed that a lot more pages are getting indexed by Google.
    I’m always learning about Google, it’s fascinating but also very frustrating at times trying to guess how it thinks.
    BTW I’d really appreciate if someone could take a quick look at my site and see if I’m still doing anything really stupid with it, for example I have the site split into many different languages and have a lot of interlinks between the languages but I don’t know if this creates circular links etc.

    your homepage has plenty of problems.

    excessive bloat (embedded JS) tables for layout (more bloat)
    more outbound links than content…

    don’t forget content is king.
    your keyword density is bound to be tiny.

    Are you talking about streamedsport.com or high-rollercasinos.com ?

    I realise streamedsport.com is in a mess, it needs a complete overhaul, it’s high-rollercasinos.com I would like your opinion on, thanks in advance.

    ah the 1st one didn’t look like a link for some reason, was looking at streamedsport.

    highroller has embedded code in 3 parts, and loads of non-nofollowed OBL’s which won’t help

    also tables for layout doesnt help when u bloat every TD with width and alignment attributes etc

    it does have a greater content to code ratio than the other site tho :hattip:

    Firstly thanks for your input on this, very usefull, couple of questions though,

    Why is embedded code bad, and how could I do it differently? The embedded code is just for using the phpopenads utility I think, is this bad?
    Secondly I’m a bit confused why having the search engines following links instead of specifying nofollow is bad, i don’t really get the whole nofollow thing but understand it can be bad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow

    Regarding the table I imagine you are right but I just don’t know how to do it differently, I’m not particularly good with tables, but is there a way to do a table like this using css. Sorry if these are dumb questions!

    I’m very relieved to hear that high-rollercasinos looks better than streamesport though ;-)

    1. Ah ok, I just scanned the html.
    2. you want googlejuice to pass to your pages and the links you do link exchanges with – not your affiliate outbound links. so if you have a link for a casino, add rel=”nofollow” to the anchor tag.
    3. Tables are for tabular data. Back in the day of html infancy people used em to layout their pages. now u want to seperate presentation (CSS) from content (HTML).. have a look at w3schools

    glad to be of assistance, don’t forget to hit that thanks button ! :D:santa2:
