Welcome to the Q&A Forum

awesome answer Ryan, thank you! We blocked the referrers IP but that does not seem to make any difference (yet).

Just puzzled by a site that has no apparent meaning and thousands of people must have a login to that thing. Maybe it is a reroute from somewhere else... no clue.

Will give your advice a go tomorrow and surely will let you know the outcome.

For a few days now we are being stalked by a "referrer" site out of Bangladesh, called sky lancers dot net. Their home page is nothing but a login and password. All traffic comes from one invisible inner page. They don't seem to try to login, nor do they use PPC to get to the site. They send thousands of visitors a day.

Anyone has any idea what this site is trying to achieve and what their goal may be?

All they do is get the bounce rate to skyrocket, the time on the site to go down and the avg page views of course to go down as well, as they click out immediately after they hit the homepage.

Any suggestions on what to do about this practice? And what are they trying to achieve?

Thanks for your insights guys!

Thanks Nick!

Honestly, I have searched how I could address a technical question but up till now have not been able to find how to address a problem. Just a hint.

That is actually what I am referring to: it says "Next Crawl in Progress" with the little beetle scrolling... but it has been doing this for 5 days straight now. It even says Crawl started on Feb 10.

So I am wondering, is it normal to be crawling for 5 days straight.

Our campaign website crawl has been 'crawling' now for 5 days. Is this a normal phenomenon or is something hanging up?

sorry, on the video from Distilled Link Love 2011

thank you thank you Phil.

It was actually a video from Distilled that pushed me to do it. (Rand Fishkin funny line on video xml maps for youtube videos)

Do you have something to read up, on in regards to video, within Distilled or SEOMoz by chance?

Perfect, thank you Vahe.

Hey Mozzers,

We have a vacation rental site where every property has its own video of the property. (i.e. YouTube embedded video)

So, with more than 1000 homes, how do you make a video xml map?

Or, should we have an xml map with 1000 links on it?

Can't wait to see your insights!

For an online commercial site, would a booking engine/reservation system best fitted in a subdomain structure or a folder?

We have always preferred folder for blog, any other content. A reservation system with lots of search results, lots of variables, we are leaning towards a subdomain in a WP site.

Pro's and Con's are highly appreciated!

Think of our company as a real estate company, having hundreds of homes, each home has an optimized page and comes with a WP light box and 15 specific photos of a property.

The code of the property would be unique, and so is the title tag (key phrase) for each property unique. Each property has a picture of the front, the living room, the master bedroom, a bathroom, the pool, the kitchen...

Say the home code is HC007FE and the keyword is "greatest home example ever".

How would you suggest naming the pictures and additionally the alt txt for these pictures?

Thanks for your help!
