[newads]

Hi,

starnge situation. I have a site with good content spans 2 to 4 pages. Now my site is out of band width. it will be back in 10 hours. each day if it reaches certain amount of limit. it comes out with bandwidth exceeded for this day. it will appear the next day normally till reaches it band width.so i decided to put those pages on sepearate site and needs to run parlalley. I have adsense code on all the 4 pages..

My issue: is it accesptible by Google to use same conent on different site with ads..

please any one here to suggest me to better deal with TOS.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have my site mirrored, ie both servers are reachable by the same URL(s) but are many miles apart in London. As far as visitors are concerned it is *one* site, not two.

It's not very nice to your users to have your site down for much of the day, and if I were a search engine I would penalise you accordingly. But I sympathise, bandwidth has been very expensive and my limiting parameter here in the UK for a long time.

Can you afford to buy more bandwidth or switch to another hosting provider or get a mirror site set up?

I wouldn't put same content on different sites. Just pay for more bandwidth. If you can't do that where the site is at, how about putting your images somewhere else?

I didn't answer question about whether it's acceptable to Google. I think so. But Google won't rank both sites high in SERPs.

Have you tried optimising your images to reduce the file size, this will save on bandwidth

[newads]

its a free site with good google rank.. i don't know how to move it to my new domain..

I am out from google rankings from last 10 days..

Thank you all for great responses..

If your sites hosting is up and down this often then each time googlebot visits or even mediabot they cant gain access to your site so your site will be removed from the google database

From your comment relating to adsense on 4 pages are you aware that you can't have adsense on free hosting sites?

[level80]

Couldn't he/she host things that are using the bandwidth off the site - eg image files etc?

[UK_Web_Guy]

ncw164x you said "you can't have adsense on free hosting sites?"

Where did you read this - it doesn't say anything about this in the Program Policies?

[ncw164x]

I stand corrected, it has changed full details here

sorry for any misunderstanding

I'm with level80: move all the image files off-site onto another server to help reduce your bandwidth, and then work to reduce the weight of the markup used to get it down even more.

If the free hosting company offers extra bandwidth for a small fee, it's worthwhile paying for it so you not only don't lose visitors, but also that the search engine bots can easily index the site.

[level80]

I was thinking of reducing the HTML code too - stickymailed them for the address to see if I could suggest anything but they just replied back saying that it was on free hosting.

[instinct]

Do a search on here or google for "enable gzip", it will compress the output of your pages on the fly and lower bandwidth. I doubt free hosting packages have this feature but it migh be worth checking.

Also, you could try re-compressing your images to lower resolution or lower quality.

Out of curiosity, how much is your daily b/w limit?

[derekwong28]

I think the problem is that you have achieved a good search ranking because the PR has been passed down to your site from the domain of the free hoster.

What I would suggest is that you upgrade your account to a paid account with your existing hoster. Have your new domain point towards this account, but keeping your old urls at the same time under the existing domain.

bandwidth has been very expensive

dedicated servers with 1tb transfer/mo for $40 to $80 == expensive?

Thank you all for great suggestions..

My band with limit daily is 40 MB..

I have great content. My html pages are done with MS-word.. The size is too much...

I need to revamp the site.. with only html.. The MS-word made html has enormous size..(started working on this..)

can my site relist in the google search engine or my site is out for life time....

Thanks for your open heart..

[level80]

Yes, writing HTML in Microsoft Word will result in bloated code. In fact so bloated that you should be able to reduce it by the amount you need to prevent your bandwidth problems. If you want to know more on how to do that - stickymail me - oh and on a sidenote, optimising your code should help your Google ranking too.

[newads]

Hi level80,

Thanks for your offer to help me. I am able to convert ms-word html to pure html code. If any need comes I will sticky mail you..

Thanks..

hmmm I would reach your daily limit every 6.4 seconds right now and every 3-4 secs at 4-6pm (peak time)
