Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanx for your support to my question!

The opinions about this issue are quite different.

It seems that it could be a ranking factor, but not such an important one. Another problem is that my  is  ccTLD is not .nl (Netherlands) but .net. My site is also focussed on de Dutch speaking Belgium population.

Hosting in The Nethetlands is no option, because of legal reasons (stricter auditing on betting advertisement). When I will host my site in another country nobody can see that Im the owner of the site. At least this is much harder.

What do you advise me to do? When I will host my site in England, does this really affect the speed of my site?

Does someone knows a good hosting operator that can help me?

Hope someone can help me!

Hello,

I've got a question about offshore hosting. I have an affiliate website containing information about betting . The target market is The Netherlands. Because of legal reasons (stricter policiy and possible penalties) I would like to do the hosting of this website in another country.

Does this have any SEO complications? I heard websites that are hosted in anthother coutry than the country of the target market have a lower rank. Is this true and is there anything I can do do avoid this problem?

I hope someone will be able to help me!

Thanx in advance.

Hello,

Currently I'm developing a website that will contain a lot of affiliate links (5000). This is because I'm going to compare the prices of a lot of products. The visitor can go to all websites (my advertisers) that sell these products via affiliate links.

My question is how to hide these affiliate links. I've read lots of solutions, like:

• cloaking,
• rel=nofollow,
• using JavaScript,
• 301 redirects.

I would like to know what the best solution is to deal with these affiliate links for SEO.

Regards,

Martijn
