Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks

Thanks

Not sure I explained my self properly, so if I show an example that might help.

The links I am cloaking are behind buttons which say 'bet now', the cloaked link is http://www.comparebestodds.com/bet/betfair/ and is set as nofollow.

The link which is cloaking is
http://www.betfair.com/?clkID=16251_67988CCB46EC4C389F77AD796257F6&rfr=16251

This links are important as its what will make money for my site, and they are important to the users as this is what they need to click to get taken to a site to place a bet.

Hope that makes it a little clearer.

Thanks

I have a couple of affiliate gaming sites and have been cloaking the links, the reason I do this is to stop have so many external links on my sites.

In the robot.txt I tell the bots not to index my cloaked links.

Is this bad, or doesnt it really matter?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Sha, appreciate you taking your time to give me feedback. Will look at implementing your points. Thanks.

Thanks for your help, I will give it a go and see what happens.

Quick side question, would this page (just created) have to many internal links, or isnt that ever a problem?

Hi irldonalb,

Thanks for your comment, I am a little unsure what you mean? This is the cached page in Google

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rWcRgJb0JoQJ:www.comparebestodds.com/+www.comparebestodds.com&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a

it looks like it all loads fine, but there is a Google logo showing a 404 in the news section, would that effected the whole page indexing? the news is just pulled in through an xml reader, would it be worth removing the news from the page?

What Social Bookmarking would you recommend to get Google to re-cache my site?

Thanks for your help

Jon

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for your reply.

The main keywords I am focusing on at the moment 'Rugby World Cup, Best Odds, Best Betting Odds, Compare Odds'

The page that were getting the most traffic from search engines were...

http://www.comparebestodds.com/rugby-union-betting/world-cup/rugby-world-cup-fixtures.php andhttp://www.comparebestodds.com/The site is 2 years old, but about 9months ago I did a complete rebuild and fresh content as I made lots of errors.

Last week I was getting 60 unique visits per day, and this week I am down to 5 unique visits.Appreciate your help.Jon.

Hello,

I never had amazing traffic, but during the last week my site seems to have almost dropped of search engines. Nothing drastic has changed during this time that I can see would have caused this.

The site is http://www.comparebestodds.com

Does any one have any ideas that can help?

Thanks
