Google detecting Affiliate Links

[areyou]

ad-center.com/1 -> myweb1.com/aff/ -> myweb2.com/1/ -> myweb2.com/2/ -> afflink

ad-center.com/1 -> myweb1.com/aff/ -> myweb2.com/1/ -> [CLOAK] myweb2.com/2/ -> afflink

Try to use UserAgent+Bot IP cloak in your redirect chain and send google bot to non affiliate page.

today my website droped because affiliate links. i know for sure its all about them, because only inner pages without them keep ranking.

maybe i am lucky, i pormote my own product, so i just moved my sales page to the inner page. so i have no affiliate link, because i link to inner page (where in sales page)

i dont know if it works, i will see in few days

They have been doing for years, especially in the gambling niche. Not completely, but online casinos ect are given a lot more preference over affiliate sites.

I remember when it would be 9 out of 10 affiliate sites to casinos. Now in some gambling niches you are lucky if there is one affiliate site on the first page.

maybey they dont have the $ anymore if they only get 30-50% of the sale price and to use that revenue into PBNs vs the vendors, who can pump 100% in their networks?

Which pages do you build more links to; sales page or inner pages?
Any recent links built recently?

I saw someone complaining a few months back their site was slapped, they send me the site to look at and every post 350-1k words had at least 10 affiliate links on it.

I suggested they reduce down to 3 or 4 max and see what happened. The site climbed back a bit. It could possibly be one of the reasons, or it might have just been a dance.

It has nothing to do with that. If you look at pages to casinos, they will naturally rank for games with no backlinks, anchors or anything. They are simply given the green light by Google. For instance Sky Vegas in the UK. I personally know their "SEO Guy" is a joke, as he had me take down one of my sites because I outranked their own brand. Anyhow Sky will rank for a shit load of keywords position no1 with not one backlink to the page or game in question.

It has nothing to do with the money, the bingo niche went like this several years ago, barely an affiliate site on the first two pages. It looks like more and more gambling niches are following suit. As though one by one Google is working out the niches and pushing affiliates out. Plus these big casinos aren't as heavy into SEO as you would think, they rely on traffic from their affiliates, and not ranking their casinos.

use ###cloaking### or learn php redirect .

##cloaking## apps are on the misc this forum.

your redirect strategy all wrong

Facebook addvert , add a short url ,then redirect users to wix.com then to homepage .

only a example to help you do it free ...

so it's more like they are going for brands and ranking them..

the more I dive deeper, it was a good decision to abandone the 600k revenue for amazon titanic I built with a 200$ camera.

well, seems in .de G still allows affiliates.
but maybe, it's cause the brands dont build enough firepower to their site..

Im thinking without any cloacking - bot redirecting this rule

myweb.com/1/ -> Facebook Link -> myweb2.com/1/ -> Instagram Link -> Bit.ly // Ad-center/1/

Myweb2 would be blank, only to redirect those users and Facebook & Instagram Links would be to try to confuse the G bot

not sure if it works or not, I do not remember the link to the review,
