The word "affiliation" is rarely heard in everyday everyday speech, since most average citizens have no idea what it means. Meanwhile, it very often began to slip in news reports, a variety of analytical materials. Especially when it comes to some fraud or simply inaccessible to ordinary people operations in the legal and economic spheres, as well as in economic and organizational activities. And here the question arises: affiliation - what is it? It’s worth sorting it out in order to understand what it is about when you hear the word again.
The concept of affiliation and its origin
This word came from the English affiliate, formed from the late Latin filialis, which means "filial". In English, this word means joining, that is, the term affilation will mean "connection" or "connection". So, understanding the concept of affiliation, what is it, we are already beginning to understand. It turns out, this is a connection, connection, affiliation to something. If we talk about the correct spelling, then the verification word is "branch", that is, it is correct to write "affiliation".
In a general sense, this word means the dependence of a certain object on a larger one, its connection or submission to it. Often this term is used in the context of conversations about firms and organizations, you can even consider such a thing as site affiliation.
Use of the term in different situations
So, if the concept itself is more or less clear, then it is worth considering it in different contexts. If we talk about firms and companies, then affiliation can also be used here. What it is, it becomes clear if we say that we are talking about the organization belonging to a large company as a branch. At the same time, the subsidiary may well carry out its own economic and economic activities, own its own reporting, but maintain the focus of the main company, and also completely depend on the decision of its management. Practice shows that today affiliation is often used to split a business artificially in order to avoid paying taxes, which causes a lot of trouble to fiscal authorities and other government agencies.
Affiliates
This concept implies that an individual or legal entity has the right and methods to influence the work of a business entity, expressed as an individual or legal entity, as it owns a share of its capital or is a member of the organization’s management body. This is where affiliation lies. What is it and who can be considered as such? Affiliates may include members of the supervisory board and board of directors, executive director, member of the collegial executive body, and others. It is also customary to include those who have the right to manage more than twenty percent of the capital of the entire company or who can influence the above positions.
When a legal entity joins a financial and industrial group, it can be said that its members are also affiliated persons. However, today this concept is more often used with a negative connotation, since it means participants or companies that have effective levers of pressure on the legal entity, but hide their presence in its business activities.
Site Affiliations
On the Internet, it is also appropriate to use this concept. And here under it are hidden sites that have been given an auxiliary role in promoting the main resource, which is the parent. They are often referred to as satellites or doorways. Usually, a whole network is created immediately, consisting of doorways that are intended for users to switch to an untwisted resource. So, it is worth considering affiliation, what this means in this context, using the Yandex search engine as an example. Namely, how you can get out of such a filter and which sites fall under it most often.
If the contact information on two sites fully or partially coincides, then Yandex perceives them as belonging to one company, considering them affiliated. He has a special relationship with them - and here his position is that affiliated resources cannot be displayed simultaneously in the results of search queries. That is, your two sites will not appear simultaneously as a result of a search for one keyword or Yandex will not display any of them at all.
Knowing that Yandex is checking for affiliation, it should be understood that such sites should not be promoted by overlapping lists of key queries, since it will not allow you to take top places in search results. In the case when there is no intersection of the list of keywords, you can achieve the desired result.
How it works?
In the search results for each search query, the most relevant site will be shown. By this, it should be understood that Yandex will determine which one is more appropriate for the entered request. Of course, there are other factors that influence the position of the resource in the results: the age of the site, the quality and number of links to it, and so on. Most often, the websites of fairly large companies that create a large number of resources for each regional center or city fall under the filter.
How not to get under the filter?
Most often it works automatically. A filter imposed in this way is usually removed in exactly the same way, so there is no point in writing long explanatory letters to the search engine support service. It is only necessary to eliminate the signs of affiliation and wait until the filter is automatically removed. If you have purchased a new domain for yourself, and you have nothing to do with sites from an affiliate network, the filter will be removed very quickly. Often, Yandex has enough websites to have a similar assortment of products, descriptions and similarity of domain names to recognize them as affiliated. The situation is aggravated if there is a coincidence in the registration data of hosting and domains.
