Hey Rudy,

Are you referring to the Rank Math Overview on the Dashboard?

If so, where it shows Total Keywords... that total is how many times a keyword was used to show your post(s).

Hope you find this helpful.

Ohhh. Ok. Thanks, Trish!

BrendaMZ uses Rank Math from what I can see in one of her conversations. She might be able to help you.

Hey Rudy,

I'm not using RankMath and I see no response here. So I did a quick research before the zzzzz's!

- In case Rank Tracker does not include your tracked keywords, then we recommend checking the Error log on your website. You can do so by heading over to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → System Status inside your WordPress dashboard (ensure you're using the Advanced mode of Rank Math).

- Also, clear your browser cache. If the problem persists, consider deactivating other plugins one by one to check for conflicts.

- rank math not working properly - Support

Rank Math

Once the installation is complete, click Activate. After installing the plugin, head to Tools → Site Health → Troubleshooting and click Enable Troubleshooting ...

- Please note that the GA4 property selection in the Rank Math Analytics settings will only connect Rank Math with the Google Analytics property for fetching and displaying the data in the Analytics property. You still need to add the tracking code for Google Analytics to measure your site’s performance.

I don't know if any of these will help. Hopefully, there is something here...

G'Night! Wow... early night!

Awesome, thanks! Too tired now, will hit it tomorrow.

Hi Rudy

The WA conversational writer is more casual and tends to be less factual than the formal writer, although it’s not always easy to tell them apart, depending on the niche.

When I use the conversational writer, I drop the output into a GPT I created, which reformats it to my liking and adds my personality.

Frank 🎸

Awesome. What parameters did you use to create that GPT?

Rudy

Add H3 tags where appropriate, remove cliches and metaphors, and create stylistic writing patterns.

Thats great. Ive had the option to create a GPT but had no idea of how to do so!

Rudy

It’s as easy, Rudy. You basically create an “extended prompt” and then test & refine it to meet the particular needs of your niche. 😎

Frank 🎸

Cool, Ill try doing that!

Thanks, Frank!

Rudy

You’re welcome Rudy. 😎

Frank 🎸

Great question, Rudy.

I've only been using the Conversational blogger. I will follow along here and see what other members are saying. Thank you, Rudy!

Have a wonderful new week!

Monica

You're welcome, Monica!

Rudy

I've used the AI in here for a couple of articles, and I tried both, but I don't see a place where you can tell which writer wrote which article, which is what I think that you're looking for.

Was there a particular reason you were wondering?

Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for...grin.

I have used both, and wanted to see if I could find outbwhich one I used the most.

One or the other requires much editing, and I wanted to test that theory.

Thanks!

Rudy

I do know that I only used the conversational blogger once, and the writing wasn't anything close to my style. I had to pretty much re-write that entire article. The professional copywriter seemed to match my style of writing better, and was much easier to work with.

I agree. Buth have 2 samplings, I wish there were a wider sampling though. Hard to compare when not relevant.

Thats why I use the 3 section setting. Saves on rewrite plus the added contenr increases the volume!

Win-win in my book.

Rudy

Hey Rudy,

There are all sorts of different detection tools to choose from that will help you discover AI written content on someone's website. See screen print below...

It is never a good idea to totally depend on ANY AI tool to write content for you, as it will eventually... if not straight away... hurt your site's rank.

Which is why asking for help to simply suggest 'framing' or laying out a specific topic and then getting to work doing the necessary researching and writing is the better way to use AI tools.

Using AI tools may even help you with spelling... though using Grammarly is a tool I've seen being recommended most by pros, for that sort of help.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thanks, Trish.

Im speaking directly abiut the Hubs here at WA. When we create articles using the Hubs AI, how do we know which (Ai writer) we have used once written?

Both styles offered vary yet are aimilar based on the content topic.

I agree about the use you mentioned regarding AI. I use it simply as a tool, and fill in the rest. Ai is a great tool to use for outlining an article.

And I really enjoy the article titles that come up when using keywords.

Thanks again, Trish!

Hi Rudy

It’s probably a good (user friendly) option for your clients to have access to basic site analytics.

I don’t bother with it. Everything I need is in GSC and GA4.

Frank 🎸

Yeah, thats true. Sitekit used to push the Yoast tool.

Since Im also maintaining the website, I want to keep it simple...grin.

Rudy

I dropped it a few years ago and am trying it again. It is much improved now.
:-)
Richard

That's so glad to know, Richard :) I don't use the plugin.

Thanks, Richard.

Yes, that's why the shout out. I wanted to add it for ease of use with a client's website. I will add it again to see.

However, If I decide to deactivate it, what will that do to my GA4 , will I stay connected to it, or have to install separately ?

When you activate it you are prompted to either keep existing GA tags in place or install from Sitekit. I opted to keep existing tags in place (I use the WPCode plugin for that). Just be careful to not install the tag twice.
;-)
Richarrd

Yes, thats true, I recall that being an option. And yes, the WP code sure makes rhat easy!

Thanks,

Rudy

Sorry, I forgot to say, when you deactivate Sitekit you lose the GA tag implementation. This is why when I set it up I leave my tags in place in WPCode (they can be set up via any method you like that works). That way you can try out sitekit and simply leave the tags as they are.
;-)
Richard

Good to know, thanks, Richard!

Rudy

There is also an independent kit that is very light. I have a funny feeling it depends on the theme you run if it (sitckit) slows down your site, or not.

Which lit kit are you referring to, Z?

Rudy

I don't; I have space for the code in my premium theme.

Plus, you can always log in to GSC & GA to find out what it is rather than looking at the site kit.

However, the training here at WA has it... Also, Jay shows how to have it or not. Both ways... (with or without the site kit)

Sitekit is considered to be lightweight, how much code does it carry that you can't use it on a premium theme?

It has been known to slow down the website, as I don't use it. I am not aware if it does or does not, Rudy.

I don't use the plugin. However, I have space within my theme for the code. So there's no need for the site kit.

Pay Per Click Marketing

I built a website recently for a client, and they want to advertise.

I'm not well-versed in this department, and am looking for some answers on the best ways that reap

Direct Mail Postcards at 53 cents each via the USPS, with a QR Code directing to the landing page or website.

- A measurable expense that is fairly consistent.
- A physical postcard is more likely to be delivered to a human than an email or a digital AD.
- A physical postcard will last considerably longer than a click on the internet.
- Lists are available to buy targeted to geographic and demographic audiences.

I see you have been doing this for a while, I believe. How has it been going for you.
It is certainly a novel way to do it.
So

It’s going… ok.

It is an expense, but it is a number that is consistent and I’m confident that it’s a human receiving the content (and not a bot 🤖).

I think a LOT of the data we see in analytics is deceptive because it’s not human or it’s a millisecond of view time that still registers as a view. (Even though it was essentially a quick swipe left or right or up or down)

Good thinking about the bots. Like anything I guess it comes down to persistency.

I believe that Google Ads and Bing Ads can give the best ROI but you have to be very careful. Set a small budget, run for a fixed time so you know exactly what it will cost, and thoroughly analyze the data every day.

Thanks, Phil. I appreciate your input!

Rudy

I like it :) And it is true taking Google out of the equation.

You have to be very careful not to let it run away with you.

Out of budget and losing shirts 🤣🤣🙏

A fair warning!

Hey Rudy,

Does there website have lots of helpful posts on it?

If so, the least expensive method is sharing that helpful content on their social media accounts and responding to any comments they receive, in a timely manner.

Paying for ads gets REAL expensive without results when you don't know what you're doing.

They might even consider creating a contest to get even more engagement on their posts.

Just my take on this...

Hope you find this helpful.

Hey Trish,

So far, the website went live end of March, has three or four blog post, 2 are indexed. I'm in the process of explaining (via email) to the client that websites need content added consistently for the best results.

Although she does have a budget for paid ads, I'm hesitant to give the go ahead.

They do have a contest, a monthly giveaway, and I'm using a cool plugin called Simple Giveaways that has shortcode that i can add to her FB , and Pinterest accounts.

Thanks, Trish, much appreciated!

Rudy

PS> As I do not have a FB account, I'm following Jay's training on how to build my first FB page.

I promote a pin on Pintrest. Mostly ladies (70%) viewing the pins. Guys hate picture shopping it seems. lol

Hey Rudy,

Is this for a local business?
If so, then I would consider Facebook as you can set the demographic to be hyper local.

Thanks, Jay. Yes, it IS for a local business. I will be heading over to your How to build a FB page series in a few minutes.
