AGD Member Websites
The AGD Member websites system is designed to give a huge SEO benefit to active AGD members. An active AGD member will be defined as a member who has 10 quality posts in a given month. Without 10 quality posts, the bulk of the SEO benefits will be removed for that user. The purpose of this is twofold: To keep spammers from using the system and to give the most benefit to our active users.
The SEO Benefits and areas of the AGD Member Websites system will be:
- AGD Member Website Listings - Described below, this area will show all member websites (entered into the system) with an SEO-Friendly listing.
- Website Profile Page - The profile page for a member's website gives the member the ability to set up a whole page (on AGD) about their website. This configuration allows the user to do the following:
- Upload your website logo
- Create the H1 tag for the page
- Create sidebar content sections which include:
- LinkRoll Menu - The ability to add your own linkroll to the sidebar which could be links to inner pages on your website or links to your other websites.
- RSS Menu - The ability to add an RSS Feed to your menu. The feed will pull all the latest topics and link them directly to the RSS Feed's article link. If using wordpress, this would take your post titles and hotlink that to your article.
- Create Main content sections which include:
- Custom Content - A custom content (HTML) box which allows you to create your own SEO-Friendly HTML content with links (maximum of 5 outlinks)
- RSS Content - Add an RSS Feed to your main content area. This will bring the full RSS Feed into your main content area including the title , date, and content of the RSS articles. It will include a linkback for every article/topic to your website.
Below are screenshots and summaries of all areas of the
AGD Member Website system:
AGD Website Listings - By Member (Active Member)
The main listings for AGD members will display a site listing with SEO benefits. Note that the link to your website has the SEO-text you wish as the anchor text for the link in 2 places (heading text and profile page text). All members with at least 20 posts can have their listing at AGD provided their posts are relevant content and not created for the sole purpose of gaining this SEO benefit. This listing is just the beginning of the SEO benefits of member listings
AGD Website Listings - By Member (NON-Active Member)
NON-Active members will have a very basic listing at AGD. While this will provide a very limited SEO benefit, there are no linkouts and any keyword-based SEO benefits are non-existent.
AGD Website Listings - Homepage - TOP 5 ACTIVE MEMBERS
The top 5 most active AGD Members (excluding 'Guard Dog') will have their site(s) listed on the homepage of the AGD Website Listsings section. This gives an extra 'push' both for web surfers as well as SE indexing.
Website Profile Page
As discussed above, the Website Profile page is where the SEO benefit really kicks in. It is a very customizable platform allowing you to create your very own SEO page on AGD linking back to your website. You will have the ability to add: Your Logo, Your H1 keyword, sidebar content such as linkrolls and rss menus, and a main content area to add custom HTML content and full RSS Feeds. Not only that, but users/surfers will be able to 'like' your webisite with Google Plus, Pinterest, Tweet, and Linked In sharing.
Notifications and Alerts
Alerts will be sent out to users when they have active websites in our system and their posting count is low. This will ensure that you are fully aware if your SEO benefits could expire due to low activity. This will happen mid-month so that you have plenty of time to be 'active' at AGD
Summary
This system was designed from the ground up to provide AGD members with high-quality links to their website. It is a valuable resource and, given proper usage, should help give you a VERY powerful link into your website. Use it well and remember that our Platinum Sponsors have made this new feature possible! Visit them now on the homepage of the AGD forums, they are all quality programs.
