This is strange, some of my XFactor sites are indexed fully and some are not. I tried bookmarking 2nd time, tried pinging multiple times, but Google bot doesn't want to index some pages. And all content is good. It is about physical products and has nothing that is against Google TOS.

    You probably bought a previously banned domain. If the domain is banned by Google before for some reason, it will not get indexed automatically. You need to submit your site for revision. To verify this problem (if this is actually the problem), add the domain into Google webmaster tool. The minute you verify your domain ownership, a message will appear on your dashboard telling you the status of the domain name.

    As most of the XFactor type sites I have seen offer so little value to the www, why would Google want to index them anyway?

      On the other hand, my experience has been if the XFactor-type site has the best content on a subject will relevant backlinks, Google will love it.

      Yes, some of them. I put some work into my sites and they provide affiliate products and Amazon products, so they are not purely with AdSense only.

    I had a look at the one we talked about before. It appears to be fully indexed now.

    I think you will be ok, just build a few more links and wait a bit more.

    How's the network going? You making any decent bank yet?

    I see you added amazon on also. Have a look at PHPBay and PHPZon. I have been using them recently and they are really nice for this type of site.

      Yes i know, i have recently applied to eBay Partner Network. But it won't make sense to add that to Amazon right? I better of remove Amazon and put eBay instead, however i tried hard to locate relevant Amazon products for my sites and it would mean time wasted if i will decide to go with eBay. Also it will take me day to do that kind of update to my network.

      Do you think it is worth it?

            I've not been using amazon much, but ebay is working really well for me.

            I think it depends on the product. The plugin I mentioned lets you add either amazon or ebay products to your site in a nice way, it looks really good and you have more control over it.

                Basic PHP will work on static websites perfectly. I always make the sites PHP after making a bad mistake with my first ever site. I don't know about PHPbay or PHPzon though.

                    You can make server read .html as .php by modifying the .htaccess

                    Try adding this line to your .htaccess file:

                    Code:
                    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

                      That means all my HTML files will be read as PHP? That is not that convenient in case i will want to work with HTML files.

                        Why? What difference will it make? PHP files are parsed same way as HTML, only difference is any code between php tags is executed server side.

      No idea how it works. I just saw the description on the site saying it was for sites not running wordpress. I bought the WP version so can't help you there.

      The layout of it and Geo-IP feature works well for me.
