200,000 Affiliate Websites Lose Rankings Overnight
10/10/2007 I am unsure if this is the right place for this post, however this is the place I have spent many hours for the last year or so, and I am so concerned right now that I cannot think of a better place. So here is the story. I have been participating in the Zlio affiliating program since Apr 2007, and until recently, especially in terms of SEO, it was a dream. With a week, my old website of 300 pages was ranking ahead of Ebay, Nextag, Shopping.com etc for many competitive keywords. I was very happy with the results and they were in place for over six months. Although I spent many hours working on my shops and acquired some quality link exchanges, I noticed that other Zlio affiliates were also performing extremely well.
