I did. But it wouldn't accept it.

This is covered in Certification 3 lesson 7. Search up google adsense and create your account then attach it to your site.

You have to have Google AdSense before you can sign up for Google Alerts? Then I wonder why signing up for Google alerts is a task in Certification 3, lesson 6 and Google Adsense is the next lesson?

Does anyone use Google Analytics? It's not showing I am getting any traffic to my site yet. But I think there may be a problem. I get this message when I login:

No valid

That means the tracking code is not installed correctly on your site.
Recheck again and make sure all the given code is pasted correctly.

There are a few methods to embed to code to your site.

1) Copy and paste manually the code within the head section of your site. If you are not familiar with HTML coding, you might want to use other method.

2) Use the plugin - just search google analytic. This is much simpler. All you need to do is get your analytic ID and paste in on the plugin setting.

3) If you are using SEO plugin such as One SEO, there is column where you can paste your code ID in the setting area.

Hope you can get the code installed correctly.

Hi Joe. Thanks for answering! Option 2 or 3 is definitely what I want. I don't know anything about HTML. However...I'm confused on what to search for in step #2. What exactly do I need to search for on google? My analytic ID? What search terms would I put?

I am using an SEO plugin. Where would I go to find the column to enter the code? And how do I find the code?

Hi all. I noticed an issue on the homepage of my site. As I scroll down, instead of just scrolling, the page skips a little. It makes it very hard to read my introduction. On t

It must be either the theme or a plugin. Have you recently changed your theme or added any new plugins?

First step is to try a different theme. If that doesn't work then reactivate Ascent and deactivate all your plugins.

Now activate the plugins one at a time, checking as you go to see which one is causing the problem.

I did just change to Ascent not that long ago. I really like it except for that. It probably is related to the theme. I can check plugins. Thanks for the idea.

It may be your theme. Check with siteSupport and get them to check it out.
Jerry

I think it is the theme. I just changed it, and it didn't do that before. I thought about contacting site support. I just thought I'd see what I could find out first. Thanks!

Hi all. I am now starting course 3. I'm excited to get to finally learn how to make money! I just read through a training on Google Search Console. It's not yet showing that I

Ok then. I will keep following the training. Thank you all so much for the advice! That is one of the best parts of Wealthy Affiliate....the support! Thanks again!

Hi Amanda. I am at that same stage and I just keep following the training as my site isn't too developed yet. So I keep building and learning and in the end you will know what to adjust to gain more traffic.

Keep following the training it is structured like it is for a reason. By the end of the training you will be glad

Keep studying the lessons, Amanda. Study the keyword theory and start building content on your website. Have a look at this webinar. If you are not attending the Friday night webinars with Jay, 5:00 p.m. PST, it may be worth your while to do so.
Your great content will bring traffic and sales.

Yes keep going with course 3 you will want to have something to sell when you get traffic. Your content will get you traffic when it ranks

You're still fairly early in the training portion believe it or not. I'm in the same position but I would rather wait and get traffic once my website is more filled up and complete than how it looks now. Just have patience and keep working.

Just follow the training and the traffic will soon come, trust me :)

No traffic yet on my site. should I be concerned?
