Whitelabels are best used if you have your own source of traffic to send to them. If you want to get SE traffic to a site then your better off using a package that let's you build pages based on the Cam's and then direct traffic into the main sites. User blackmonsters here on gfy makes a WP plugin that pulls from a number of cam shops and let's you create pages for the girls that are online.
EconfirmPro good luck:thumbsup |
I related this issue to them a long time ago, and they replied to me:
They said they tried to give several options in the past to Webmasters so that we can customize our Whitelabels to have unique content on the site so that Google doesn't consider them as having thin content. Despite the efforts, Google started penalizing the Whitelabels, and they even started to penalize their brand sites. So to avoid further penalties for the WhiteLabels and their sites alike, they canonicalized them to Livesex.com. They said that this way they are not indexed, but they also avoid being penalized. Same goes not only for the WhiteLabels but to their sister sites, too (MyCams.com, LivePrivates, etc.). Having more canonical links to Livesex.com might have been the side effect, but it was not the goal. This was what they told me |
Yeah,
and exactly therefore (the canonical) you should block it via robots.txt so it at least ranks for its domain name. If you block it in robots.txt Google does not does not see the canonical. So it will rank for the domain name (but nothing else). There is a checkbox in the "SEO" section saying "Allow robots" - remove it and it is disallowed via robots.txt. . |
