COOP Advertising Network

[SEO2006]

The DP COOP Ad Network.

Any good or what?

[Will.Spencer]

Yes. It can be very good.

It makes me about $50/day from keywords that I would not otherwise rank for.

There's been previous conversations on this topic around here...

Maybe it's worth reading too.

it's great if you have enough weight, and almost useless if you don't.

In either case I would recommend taking advantage of it.

I have got an account with 27k in it and do use it, I just wanted to know what you lot thought... suppose I should have searched first though eh?

Dunno about searching first through, those posts date a long time ago and it's always good to refresh your mind, and re-evaluate services.

Well then.....

Currently I feel it's doing more harm than good. I just can't put my finger on it, it seems to work with some sites and not others. Any views?

Just don't give a new site too much weight!!!! It might get you banned from too many back-links at once!

[Johan007]

There is no getting away from the fact that this is an unethical SEO service you will be providing. I know Google hasn’t got the time to de-list these sites but I would still stay well clear because it could add up to a possible penalisation (eg: Bluefind.com) or do your reputation no good, if you had to do for example a re-inclusion request.

Johan:

To analyze that properly, you must seperate the two kinds of co-op sites:

1. Those giving links.
2. Those receiving links.

[SEO2006]

I keep the two very separate myself and only usually add the ads to random forums and blogs not anything business orientated.

It has served me very well with a few sites but with a few others it's don more harm than good.

Must be something to do with trust once again.

[Klaas Koopman]

how do you get weight? I don't understand the program!

[SEO2006]

The more ads you display on your own sites/ pages, the more weight you get, the more ads of your own are displayed on other peoples pages. We say ads but we mean back links :p the ads don't get clicked on much at all.
