Nats Programs and Google (SEO) (*stats)
 

Do any of you programs running the NATS system have someone inhouse that sets up the sites so they are se friendly?
Do you hire someone?
Or do you do nothing?

With the newer versions of Nats i see a dramatic increase in search traffic by programs using the system. I know some have takin some pointers as far as effective page layout to welcome the spider and feed it, and some have actual employees that look after it. (whether that is successful or not is left unsaid)

Do program owners think of things like this? Having your NATS running so that it encourages the spider can only pay dividends in the future. If you dont, what is the reasoning behind not having it done? And if you have, do you care to tell us the benefits?

For those who lol and say, what a seo post, and whats it have to do with NATS. Here is a couple screenies of 4 Nats programs and referer stats. There is one thing they all have in common (asside from google traffic), is Nats. If someone with a clue spent some time on them and had them set up properly, the results would be very good for us affiliates, and the sponsor (obviously).

Also, with the newer version of NATS, im seeing LESS sponsor paysite roots getting bumped from the serps by referal codes, instead they share the serps, thanks to the great subdomain and the big g's look at them.

Anyways, maybe some discussion can go on about this.

Bueller? Bueller?

BUELLER?!

Whats google? You mean googoo? That's baby noise.

You didn't hear about our deal with Google?

Nope :upsidedow

I'm kidding of course. I've had people tell me our link code structure is great for SEO, I've had people tell me its horrible. I have seen more say it is good tho than bad.

This thread is useless without traffic numbers

Nats link codes do ok with the SEO but could be alot better without the redirect thingies

It is the best one out there, if you base that on whats available. Some programs i see are running it almost bone stock, and those ones, i can see why people may say its 'less then good".

There is a few very basic tweaks i see alot of sponsors have used but not everyone does. Its simple shit, like addressing the most basic of seo principles. And searching the sites in google and giving them a solid look at its very evident which sponsors tried, and which didnt.

I guess im just curious in why not. One of those sponsors from above is doing extremely well, another very bad, but had there not been some simple things done to the pages upon generation (simple temp editing and database calls for stuff like modelname or scene id) none would be easily ranked like im seeing.

Traffic is not involved in the questions posed above in anyway. And if it needed to be broke down that simple to be understood, i wouldnt use traffic to justify. It would be money earned.

But the thread is about the search engine friendliness of NATS and why most don't take advantage of it.

My point is I dont give a shit if you got 1 click for some term from google. If you are getting 100 a day then great nats should look at what is and what is not working in the linking structure

If you have any suggestions please feel free to get in touch. Always happy to discuss ideas.

Congrats on completely missing the point on the thread :thumbsup

- this is not SEO..
