Google and redirects...

We all know that redirects are bad, and there was one on the affiliates4u.co.uk domain, which I think resulted in a penalty from Google. (I knew it would, but there was no choice at the time) within a day of removing it I was back in the index! - so just thought I'd mention it (in the unlikely event) that anyone else uses one!

Matt.

I noticed your PR go to 1 today. Cool.

Be back to where it should be in no time.

Must admit i was a little curious about your problem with Google, but didn't want to seem nosey :O)

Yes, quite strange.

Used to have quite a good page rank, 5/6 but the was affected by the dreaded PR0 dilemma.

The PR has gone upto 1/2 which aint amazing, and its weird as we do have some high PR sites linking to us.

Guess its just one of those things. Good thing is though that the actual forum itself is crawled by google, and quite often too. Was even done daily at one point.

I'm going to redesign the site over the next few Months, after I sort out all my Xmas pages!

I'll see if i can promote your ad on Freebieholics to a better PR'd page, or ad another link as it's too appropriate where it is to move.

I'll add one to FreebieFriends too.

Never know it might help.

Matt, I have added a link to you on my site (only PR3 at the moment, but hopefully higher in the next update?) Every little helps when it comes to inbound links I guess.
