How to use different affiliate link based on geolocalisation in a Seo friendly way ?
-
Hi All,
My website Sportytrader.com http://www.sportytrader.com/ works as an sport betting affiliate website on the french language markets.
With sport betting legalisation in Europe, only people from France can play on french sport betting website. The same for Belgium or swiss. We have traffic from everywhere. So we need to geolocalize all our affiliate links to provide the right affiliate link to the right person in function of his location?
What is the best way and the more seo friendly way to do that?
Thanks a lot,
Renaud

Hi Keri,
Thanks for your message. I am still looking for solutions. What I was thinking is :
-
click on a partner link in my site
-
opening an internal page testing the Ip of users by country by PHP REMOTE_ADDR']; and sending users to the good affiliate link in function of his IP.
-
The user arrive to the partner site.
Can you tell me if it's a good idea or not and if it's SEO friendly ?
Thanks in Advance,
Renaud

Hi Renaud,
I'm following up on older unanswered questions in Q&A.Did you find a solution, or are you still looking?

There are services that translate an IP address into a location: http://www.ip2location.com, http://www.geobytes.com, probably others. If you knew the location of each visitor would that solve your issue?

Guilty of keyword cannibalization. What's the best way to fix it without losing link juice?
Hi guys, I'm new here but I already spent hours reading the forums. I didn't post before because I didn't feel the need to, but today it's different. I don't want to take fixing steps that are not optimal for my website situation. So here's the problem : I am working on an affiliate website that is growing day after day and is already profitable. It is not by any mean a thin affiliate site. It's a french language website with product reviews on it. Right now there is 1 main page (hero page) per review in which I describe the products, put affiliate links, present useful information, etc. These pages have a good word count and I am targeting 1-2 main keywords on them which I consider a good practice. Couple of months ago I decided to add a product page for each one (normally it's 5 products per review) so I added 5 more page per review, targeting product names as new keywords. Problem is that : Product names are very similar to the main keywords (keyword cannibalization problem) There is very little added information on the product page when you compare it to the hero page (too thin) A lot of information is repeated on each of the product pages. I think this is bad. So I decided to keep only the hero pages to keep more link juice, avoid keyword cannibalization, improve page authority and get more content on one single page (only information that was not repeated have been added to hero page). I removed ALL THE LINKS to product pages (from the hero page). So now for my questions : Is it better to keep the product pages in my sitemap or to delete them right away? Is it better to let the product pages die by themselves over time or to 301 redirect all the product pages to hero page to keep link juice? The next question is a bit more complicated. Hope you guys understand what I mean. Considering that product pages are now gone, this will for sure weaken my bounce rate % because only hero page with good/deep information will be accessible to visitors (there is not a lot of internal links in each review, except to other, RELATED reviews). Is setting up goals in google analytics + telling google that it should consider a click on an affiliate link as a NEW PAGE VIEW (like it would act for a click on a link of a product on my own domain) will help for SERPs and SEO?? Or it will just help ME to see a lower bounce rate and setting goals? In other words, is tracking these links and let google see them as new pages clicks will help for the page rankings or not? Because from what I am understanding, a good bounce rate helps for rankings. If the changes made to avoid keyword cannibalization work, when could I potentially see the effects/benefits in the SERPs and trafic?

Considering Using External Domain Name To Build Separate Community
We are currently working with a client who sells classic Chevy muscle car parts: www.classicmuscle.com. They also own OldMuscleCars.com which is being redirected to the classic muscle site. Through our remarketing efforts in Adwords, we've noticed a growing number of affiliate blogs/forums/auto community sites (ex: classiccars.com) where customers are hanging out and seeing our banner ads. Our thought is to potentially create a new community site centered around muscle cars in general (not just chevy which is CM's specialty) that can be used in part as a lead gen tool (banners and text links would lead back to the classic muscle site) as well as a platform to explore other highly sought after vehicles (potentially expand outside of current chevy models or into other brands like ford). My questions is what are the implications of creating a site like this and are there any concerns (ranking or otherwise) with linking back to the classic muscle site? We're already ranked well for a majority of our current target keywords so link juice is really a secondary motive to lead gen. Best regards, Ryan

Choosing an Affiliate Software & Link SEO-Value
Hello everyone. I'm looking for recommendations for affiliate software. I'm also curious if there is any truth in the "SEO-value" that some softwares are touting as a benefit. Choosing a Software: This Moz Blog Article says to build it yourself. However, I'm inclined to use an out-of-the-box software for advanced features such as real-time analytics for the affiliate, w-9/1099 processing, etc. MozPerks promotes hasoffers.com which seems overly pricey ($230/month with perk discount) and OMNISTAR who just left me on hold for 10 minutes (and still no anwer from their sales department). So I'm still looking. Any recommendations? SEO-value of Links from Affiliates: Here's an example of what OMNISTAR claims about the SEO value of the way they structure the links from affiliate sites to my site. I hear a variation on this pitch from each software and none of them seem to agree. Does Google want me to clearly tag promotional vs. editorial links? Is there SEO-value in promotional links on affiliate sites or is that a load of bologna? Thanks a bunch!

Using Press Release For Promotion (PRWEB)?
I'm coming up on our year renewal for PRWEB and wanted to start a discussion with the MOZ Community on this one. I've used PR extensively over the past year and found it to be really hit and miss depending upon which category I used it for. I've combed the internet for help on this topic but have not really found anything pertaining specifically to PRWEB. Here's my situation. Right now we have a setup to be able to push out 4 highest level press releases every day. Currently they sort of work pretty well for the financial industry but I've not seen too much of a benefit in other industries. I also have a moral dilemma with the PR's, we have to put out a press release every day to have really any big impact on our own financial affiliate websites. This practice is not falling in line with "best practices" our business runs with for our clients and I feel like we just need to just cut the system and focus more on social promotion. So, What's your thoughts on PRWEB? Should I cut it? If not why? If so, what types of social promotion do you use that are really effective?

Affiliate code in urls? affiliate link landing pages?
Is it considered a good or bad practice to have the affiliate code present in your affiliate link url's ? (as opposed to disguising them with something like phpbay) Does the general public not scour the hover-over url's of links they click? Also, is there any way of keeping customers on site when they click affiliate links? (via frames or something more modern) Or is that frowned upon by advertisers?

Best way to start affiliate marketing a new mens magazine website?
I have just started up a new mens magazine website featuring articles, videos, sports news and photos to help drive traffic to the website. I write all the articles myself and do the social media updates in my spare time. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on the best way to start doing affiliate marketing for a new website? I was inspired to do this by successful internet marketers who make a passive income off their websites. So far I have added Amazon and William Hill as affiliate links as I think my target market will be looking for these types of product links. Also, for anyone who has experience in this, how long it taken for your blog to become successful and make money? Many thanks, Alex

How do the engines look at pages populated using content from an affiliate site?
We are building out a section of our site using an affiliate partnership in the travel space. How would you suggest organizing the content so we do not get penalized for duplicate content? Do you suggest not suing the content at all?

Affiliate links and Panda
Hello all, my question relates to the recent panda changes and the subsequent impact on pages with affiliate links. I have a hub of pages on my website talking about parcel delivery. Each page has unique, quality content and up until about 3 weeks ago they were starting to achieve strong rankings. We then decided to add some affiliate links (just 3) on each of the 5 parcel related pages we have. The rankings for each of these pages have tanked completely; rather than top 20, we're now outside of the top 100 for all of them. When we noticed this we masked the link, changing it to domain.com/index/affiliate; we also no followed the link. Alas this has had minimal effect in restoring the rankings. What i'm now thinking of doing is removing the affiliate links from the parcel landing pages altogether and instead providing users with a no followed link to another page within the site upon which we would have the affiliate links. This page would also be no indexed as well. My question is: Is this a good idea and if so will it restore my previous rankings over time, or have those pages (as a result of the affiliate links) been permanently down graded?? Any assistance would be gratefully received!
