Hey ... have anyone of you ever had experience with Smart Pages? From what I can see is that they have a sitemap ... which links to other keyword specific optimize webpages ... which will redirect you (using flash) to your main page.

I guess they are trying to get good ranking for the keyword-specific-web-pages. Since those web pages redirect using flash, they might not be offensive to search engines ...

So ... how effective is this? Any comments ... ??

The original SmartPages redirected using standard refreshes, so Flash has to be an improvement. However, SmartPages were basically doorway pages with no content and only there for SE placement. Consequently, I would hesitate to use them because they are strictly designed to trick the SE's and would put a site at risk of being banned if caught using them.

The Truth about Smartpages!

SmartPages are a very controversial topic. I've first heard of them
in the ebook The Whole Truth from Stephen Pierce.
This was in January of this year (2003) - The ebook is still one of the best
I've read so far about affiliate marketing.
Stephen have used them longer before and now for the first revealed
his affiliate secrets in his ebook. Shortly after the release of the ebook
major discussion begun on different forum and boards. Pros and Cons.
One major arguement from the Cons was that Smartpages shortly will
be banned from Google. Now we have the end of the year and what
happenend? Smartpages are still working and better than ever!
I'm doing business for fun and to plug in money. So if a strategy works
and is reliable why don't use it?
What tools made me the most money this year?
1. Smartpages
2. Google Adwords
I jump on new ideas a soon as I realize that they could become trends.
Shortly after the realease is the time when you could make the most money out of
these new building trends, but they could last longer then you might
think. Both streams are still working and worth joining!
I also use Ranking Power and this tool is an great addition to my above income streams.

You don't like SmartPages or Ranking Power - fine that's your choice.

But don't try to cry foul whenever someone has a better search engine ranking then you as a result of SmartPages or the use of Ranking Power.

* They exist because they work.
* They exist because they make people money.

All the best

I just thought I'd add that Smart Pages have been working for me ever since I started using them earlier this year. In fact, it's the easiest way I've earned commissions online ever!

And you know what? The latest Google changes haven't hurt my rankings a bit. Funny that, considering so many "genuinely" optimized web pages seem to have suffered.

Smart Pages work... for now.

Warmest,
