Looks like a directory,,,,

Click any link,,,,

Kind of a circle jerk as all pages link to other pages, with Google Search as the first thing you see at the top.
Then bookmarking icons, and a rambling mess of text.

First exit and bail out..... Google Search.

Once you're on an article page check out the links at the bottom, then click REFRESH.
You get new links!
Rotating links huh,, pretty cool.
Every time googlebot spiders a page it's different.
Strange tactic gives them a Page Rank of "0"



Weird.
I don't know what to make of this site.

I work for an ecommerce company. I told them Google likes fresh updated pages.
I came back a week later and he had hired a coder. Now all the products change places if you do not have a cookie. So to the user the items stay in the same place all the time. To a bot the page is always changing.

great idea, gonna try it soon, thanks!

i got no idea on how to make that~
any guide pls??

Learn PHP and sessions/cookies
simple if statement

PHP Code:

$cookie = $_COOKIE["layout"];
if ($cookie==1) {
real person keep the same layout
} else {
setcookie("layout", "1", time()+3600000);
rotate layout
} 


cba to explaining rotating layout now.

Though I didn't check ya code Im sure it works fine. Only thing is that this will only work to a certain point with SEs. They can only spider so many pages of your site and unless ou are adding lots of new pages of content to rotate round the benefit will not last long.

SEs know new content from rotated old content and it will realise before long. Most sites (especially ecommerce sites) have rotating products / pages and they can't all be #1.

Very true point, however new products are always been added in ecomerce stores, this is the true fresh content.

Rotating content on the page or layout keeps the spiders entertained until the next product comes live. Personally I did not think it would have an impact (if any) however you do see some benefits (more MSN and Yahoo).

All of our competitors that rank over us for the ecommerce store all use rotating products and mass link stuffing, basicly spider food.

But I do agree it is only to a set point before the spider says "well they are the same links in a different order". So it is a good point to raise that it is not the God send answer.
