What everyone with a self replicating web site should know and why they are losing traffic!

99.9% of all affiliate programs which offer a web page or web site as part of the joining package, give what is referred to as a "self replicated" site or page. This means it is a page or site that is identical to every other member also in the same affiliate program with one very small exception. The only difference between all the pages is your affiliate number or email address.

This is search engine suicide and despite what you may have been told, if you think you are ever going to get far trying to get these type sites listed high in the search engines, it will never ever happen. You will get further paddling a boat across the lake with a huge hole in it!

The reason affiliate groups give these types of pages out, is because it is very easy to generate them using a script from their web site. The main objective for most of these affiliate type companies is to get as many people signed up as possible into their program. The more people they have signed up, the more overall sales they will generate for the company.

Here's why the affiliated or "self replicated" pages are no good for you and how to easily get around the very serious problem.

Depending upon how long you have been on the Internet, you may have heard the term "mirror page". A few years ago, someone decided it would be a smart idea to take their index page (main page of a web site) and create multiple copies of it. They left everything on the page the same and just kept making copies like index1.htm, index2.htm, index3.htm etc. The next thing to happen was they upoaded all these copies to their web server and submitted each of these pages to the search engines. The results were pretty good until the search engines figured out what was going on. The search engines started working on ways to prevent this from happening to make it more fair to the Internet in general. The solution was for the search engines to give very poor ranking to those sites which were submited which exactly match other pages already indexed within the same search engine.

The search engines send out what's called a "spider" or "robot" to index your web site when it has been submitted. This is all automatically done and can instantly tell when deceptive things like mirror pages are in place. The result is very poor ranking and huge loss of potential traffic and income.

Ok, now that you understand this, can you also appreciate that a search engine cannot tell a mirror page from a self replicated one? Now do you also see why using up energy and time to try and get these types of pages highly ranked in the search engines is a complete waste of time? I hope so!

Lead in (sometimes called splash) pages are pages that will greatly improve your affiliate type web sites ability to generate traffic. You create a page that is put together properly in terms of design, layout, and has the proper advanced meta tags. Then you submit the lead in page to the search to the search engines! There are several samples on our site to give you an easier idea of exactly how effective this is. WorldwideAdNetwork.com.

By using a lead in page to promote and submit to the search engines, all web traffic will be drawn to this page first. The search engines will also rank this page much higher than it would ever have ranked the self replicated page. A lead in or splash page is a must for every sefl replicated web site.

A word about meta tags. Meta tags are crucial to your web pages success. 99.9% of all self replicated web pages do not have any meta tags! It is also impossible for you to get ranked within the search engines without the proper use of meta tags. There are about seventeen advanced meta tags that you should have programmed into every web page in your web site.

The search engines are looking for very specific things. If you give the search engines exactly what they seek, you will enjoy far greater search engine ranking than those who do not. It is just that plain and simple.
