Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Dear Mozzes, We're running a property portal for real estate classifieds which receives around 300.000 visits monthly.

PA 47 DA 37 Mozrank 5,3 MozTrust 5,8 PR 4

Apart from our real estate classifieds we are producing proprietary trends and statistic, a rare commodity in the country we operate. Luckily we are about to enter into a partnership with one of the leading newspaper portals in the Country, appreciating PAs in the 80-90s.

In this coming partnership we will provide:

1. Market statistics, which we can imagine as a chart followed by our logo and a "Powered By", which shall link to our site.

2. An in-framed part of our site in their portal where we list properties for sale, that will carry affiliate strings.

In order to for us to get the maximum link value of this high authority site, how should we build the integration and linking?

We've looked at similar examples here

or maybe like the Simply Hired logo here:

Advices here would be super appreciated.

Thanks Eric

Mozzes,

We're running a real estate portal in which we have a pretty good news/blog section running on wordpress. It's placed into our LAMP site on a dash from our root URL:

www.ourportal.com/news/

To attract traffic via our landing pages we publish article snippets from the blog, linked to the complete articles.

What would be the optimal SEO here to lead the spiders to the orignal content?

Follow, Noindex?

Matthew,

How would you go about tracking user vs bot traffic on 410 header pages? We see that we got plenty of hits on the pages via Awstats, but no means to measure what sort of traffic these hits really are?

Thanks a lot for that Matthew,

I will look into it, but my gut tells me that we do not get a lot of traffic from these pages. Google visits though, tons, so hopefully the 301s will bring us some more nice juice.

Right after posting I ran into this great post about the subject too http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-should-you-handle-expired-content

However, few words are mentionend  about the 410.

Thanks

Johan

Hi Mozzes,

We're running a property portal that carries around 200.000 listings in two languages. All listings are updated several times per day and when one of our ads expire we report this via the "410 Gone", and place a link to our users: This ad has expired, click here to search for similar properties.

Looking at our competition I seems that here are many different ways to deal with this, one popular being a 301 to the corresponding search result.

We've tried to get directions from Google on what method they prefere, but as usual dead silence.

Advices are mostly welcome.
