Reciprocal link not being found in directory submissions for WP site

[GaGaGirl]

Hi,

So I have a weird problem and I can't seem to find the google answer. I was trying to submit my site to some gambling niche directories for free with a reciprocal link. However even though I clearly add the link it cannot be found automatically by the submission page.

The page is located at http://www.play3dpokeronline.net/links/

It is a wordpress site, and Gambling Site Directory wrote me this:

Unfortunately our directory doesn't recognise links that use javascript encoding. Looking at the source code from your page (http://www.play3dpokeronline.net/links/) it doesn't match the HTML code we recommend using for links.

YOUR CODE:

Make money from your gambling website by joining the best <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.gamblingaffiliateprograms.co.uk');"  href="http://www.gamblingaffiliateprograms.co.uk">Gambling  Affiliate Programs</a> currently online. Compare the best casino,  poker, bingo and sports betting affiliate programs.

RECOMMENDED CODE:

Make money from your gambling website by joining the best <a href="http://www.gamblingaffiliateprograms.co.uk">Gambling  Affiliate Programs</a> currently online. Compare the best casino,  poker, bingo and sports betting affiliate programs

.


However in WP the code is normal. I have no idea what to do, any help would be appreciated. They were nice enough to manually add the link for me, but it will be very time consuming to manually request this with all the sites I think.

Any ideas?

Gaga,

The code is the Google Analytics outbound click tracking added by your Ultimate Google Analytics plugin. If it gives you an option to turn off outbound click tracking, it will remove the code (and the functionality).

OMG, thank you so much! That is easy to turn it off when I'm doing the submissions and back on again when I'm done. Thanks again!

Oj, I turned it off and it still didn't work. I don't think I would need to wait that long after turning it off?

any other suggestions?

thx

Did you turn off just the feature or the entire plugin? Have you tried disabling the plug-in?

And if you turn it back on after you get accepted i hope they all blacklist your domain. Just saying.

And just what would they blacklist her site for?

Gaga's plug-in is adding a Javascript tracking code to the link, it's not altering the link at all as far as SEO value or SEO anchor text is concerned. The only reason that she's having issues is because the script that checks for presence of a link doesn't assume anything else is the link code except the href, I bet if Gaga wanted to add a target= or title= to the link code, it would also throw the crawler for a loop.

gagagirl, just my opinion but it really isnt worth adding your site to any directories that require a link back. your time could be a lot better spent

Hi fossil,

Yes, I turned off the java script within the plug in and also completely disabled the plug in and it didn't work

@allfreechips, no reason to blacklist me, I'm not removing their links, their crawler just can't find them

@thebookiesoffers, do you have any other suggestions link building wise? I love SEO, everyone says something different. Link exchange is worthless, link exchange is great if with relevant sites. I can't afford to buy links at this point, so I need to do manual anything. I can look for directories that don't require a link back, but those are far and few in between.

I can do social bookmarking, I have a list of 100 sites with dofollow, but I have no idea how they accept gambling links (though it is all about testing, right?)

I could also do the web 2.0 profile submissions, I have some program for that but the program is way complicated and it seems like I can spend my time better doing something else then figuring out how that stupid program works.

I'm totally open to suggestions. SEO for gambling sites is way different then for regular sites.

Thx everyone!

My Bad, I see it retains the reg url as well, I assuimed it was a jump point tracking I Apologize
