Hi folks! Seeing that a "daily backup" is a benefit we premium folks get, does someone have info on how this daily backup works and how we access this if we need it?

Hi

Site support backs up our websites daily, in case there's a malfunction of any kind, sites can be restored.

And sometimes you may be adding a new element, and site gives error you can call upon site support for help with a previous version or your website.

You can submit a ticket to site support should a situation occurs and need troubleshooting.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

I also suggest you backup your sites, you can use the AIO WP Migration or Updraft plugins. UpdraftPlus is a premium and highly recommended.

Hope this helps.

That is a good suggestion...Always good to have a Plan B...Cheers! Dave : )

That is done at the server level I would imagine and likely it is an automatic process that is built into the servers. I know that is the way we do it on our servers and think it will be the same for the WA servers...

To make use of the feature...

Just use the support team to put in a request, and they will take care of it for you. That area is found in the website menu at the top of every page here, click on it and the seventh menu item is the support link...

Go through the steps to submit the requested support, and they will promptly take care of it for you. That has been my experience over the past 6+ years anyway!

Cheers!

Coach Dave : )

Merry Christmas, Coach Dave! 🎄🎁

Does anyone have experience with RafflePress, particularly with YouTube? I'm curious if it meets YouTube's policies by having someone subscribe while joining a giveaway?

Hi, you may want to review below article from the RafflePress blog

https://rafflepress.com/how-to-do-a-giveaway-on-youtube/

You may also want to view how to leverage

https://rafflepress.com/how-to-increase-your-youtube-views-with-a-giveaway/

I've never heard of it.

I am curious. What is RafflePress?

Roy

Here you go: https://rafflepress.com/

Here's where I'm at, this moment:

I have a YouTube channel with over 100k views annually and over 10k watch hours...but only 350 subscribers. I also earn over $20k/year from this channel - half from affiliate and half from landing page follow through for services.

I can't seem, however, to increase my YouTube subscribers more than 1x day, even though I've had more than 10k views just this month, strong calls to action, and good watch times and conversion rates.

This is because my channel is extremely targeted - to those seeking a very particular luxury vacation and honeymooners. They come to my channel for a very specific thing and then are unlikely to ever return - something I'm very ok with because of the money I make from these people.

I'd also rather not dilute my channel by posting more "subscribe-able" content.

Why do I want more subscribers?

I passed the 5k watch hour requirements for the YouTube partner program a good while back, but I'm struggling to climb to the required 1k subscriber mark. While I have no desire to activate adsense and channel monetization through YouTube directly, I reaaalllllyy want the feature to put custom links IN my videos - something I think will escalate my earnings drastically from my videos.

As such, I've found RafflePress and it seems if I was to do a competition, I could ask people to like my Facebook page and subscribe to my YouTube channel as part of gaining more entry points.

I'd personally pay hundreds, maybe thousands, get get to that 1k subscriber mark, but don't want to violate YouTube policies by "buying subscribers." I'd rather run an organic competition through a landing page plugin that leads to subscribers, etc.

Therefore, I'm considering RafflePress, but would really like to find something more about this online before jumping in too deep haha! :)

Hi,

RafflePress is for managing giveaways to your visitors, you can use this plugin for creating viral giveaways and contests that will enable you to attract lots of traffic.

Thank you, Abie :-). Looks like an interesting plugin. It seems worthwhile to try it out.

A few hours of Googling tells me that "experts" are very divided on whether more than H1 tag impacts SEO or not...

Yesterday I ran my website through some SEO audits on v

Some very interesting answers, Addison!

Jeff

Hi - yes, and no! Yes, Google counts the H1 in the title. Should you have more than one? Opinion is divided. It used to be said, one H1 only. However, various experiments by respected experts such as Moz, have shown it makes no difference. So, I would say personal choice, and does it look natural in your post, particularly on mobile?

Thanks! It seems you are right, I came across this a few minutes ago: https://searchengineland.com/multiple-h1s-wont-get-in-the-way-of-your-seo-google-says-322909

wordpress uses its title as a h1 tag
google looks for a structure within your post of titles
so having more than one h1 tag means more than one structure - which does it follow....maybe not hte one you are expecting
h1 is the most important - so having two means they are both important - so diluting their effect....
the choice is your whether you alter the other posts, but i would only use the title as h1 and in the nbody use h2 onwards...
if you look at the code for your blogs ( ctrl+u in firefox) you can search for < h1 after this it says entry title headline - so yes wordpress uses h1 as the title....
have fun

Thanks! An interesting read I came across about this today: https://searchengineland.com/multiple-h1s-wont-get-in-the-way-of-your-seo-google-says-322909

i always think of it as a book - do you have multiple titles for a book or just one
as he says think of the user not seo
so if your theme style makes you usre h1 to make the headings show more then use them - or pick a theme that allows styling of headers
but for me i will stick to one h1 and then h2's as the most important in the body
and remember that this is only a tiny bit of your ranking - there are over 200 other bits - most of which you do not control

Good point; I thought of it this way, but then I remembered most books have a outer cover and title page with the exact same title haha! I'm guessing if my H1s are identical, it shouldn't be a problem...unless Google sees it as keyword stuffing (hopefully not).

Hi folks!

I've been writing a lot the last few days and I always have the habit of checking my stats on MOZ - particuarly the spam score.

After publishing 2 blog po

I hope you find out!

Hey Addison,

In searching Google for your issue, I scanned a few chats in forums that my search results offered, and I think you may find helpful tips offered there, if/when you run the same search. See screen print below...

Hope you find this helpful.

Hi, thanks for that. I have read those articles as I spent awhile on Google before posting, but I do appreciate the help! :) My issues is more of something has triggered it in the last 24 hours and I really don't know. My MOZ account isn't helping either - just points to a few root links that might be an issue, but these have been there for weeks. No idea haha!

The one chat I read pointed at Google Analytics as being the issue. Did you read that one?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I read that one - do you have a link? I did read an article that shows that Google itself has a 8% spam score on Moz, so maybe I am overreacting?

The chat I referred to is the first one shown in the screen print above.
